Help Desk
The Help Desk is available to answer your geospatial questions. We can answer most questions related to GIS, remote sensing, and spatial data. If we can't answer your question, we know someone on campus who can and will get you connected! Email us with your questions or to set up an appointment (in-person or Zoom). We are located in 420 Blegen Hall.
