Welcome
Welcome to the GIScience Study Group of the Canadian Association of Geographers. We are a subset of CAG members with interests touching various aspects of GIScience in Canada. We aim to foster a culture of collaboration, student training, and academic excellence and provide substantial support to our student members through travel grants and awards.
Goal
The GIS-SIG Study Group was formed around the interests in GIS, geomatics and related spatial
technologies. Members are interested in the following:
- Conducting GIScience and GIS applications research
- Designing model curricula and educational tools with Canadian content
- Advocating for spatial data that is free or at-the-cost-of-distribution
- Designing innovative techniques for collecting and disseminating spatial data
- Facilitating education in GIS, geomatics and related technologies
- Fostering interdisciplinary collaboration between geographers and others interested in GIS
