Geography Labs

The UNO Department of Geography maintains four computer labs to which faculty and students have access. These labs serve as classrooms for the bulk of the cartography, GIS, and remote-sensing courses offered by the Department, and are available to support research projects that use spatial information. These research projects often are multidisciplinary in nature, and the labs are available to users outside of Geography.

The Department of Geography's Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems Lab is located in Room 317 of Milneburg Hall. The lab consists of five Dell XPS workstations, five Dell Precision T3400 workstations, and thirteen Dell Optiplex 755 workstations.  With the exception of the three XPS stations, all the machines will be running Windows SP and MS Office software and:
