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! For in-person help, visit the U-Spatial office (420 Blegen Hall) during our walk-in hours, or email us to set up an appointment.
