GIS, Analyzing Data

Data & GIS Lab at UCSD
UCSD has a terrific Data and GIS lab. We strongly encourage you to take full advantage of its resources.

The Data & GIS Lab serves two distinct but interrelated functions here at UC San Diego.  On the data front, the Lab offers access to statistical software as well as to datasets not available from the Social Science Data Services website, or elsewhere.  On the GIS front, the Lab serves as the primary campus base for GIS services, access to GIS data and software, and the only place with staff to provide GIS assistance. The workstations in the Lab have both statistical software and GIS software. To better serve you, the Lab contains reference and circulating books for both data and GIS.  Learn more.
