Digital Mapping and Research Laboratory

The "Digital Mapping and Research Laboratory" (DML), is primarily devoted to the success of graduate and undergraduate students using computer facilities in combination with faculty and staff assistance and collaboration with other students.

There are two labs really. The teaching lab is available for all geology majors when not in use as a classroom. The research lab is laid out for research with workstations located around the room and with specialized software as needed for specific projects.

Software available on computers includes ArcGIS Pro, ENVI, Agisoft Metashape, Adobe Creative Cloud, ESA SNAP, MATLAB, and Move.

There are printers, scanners, laptops, GPS/GNSS RTK equipment, and a large format printer for posters. Much of the equipment is available for temporary check out by geoscience faculty and students as needed for classes, research, field trips and presentations.
