File SharesAccounts The computers in the EARTH Lab are on an independent server for GIS and Remote Sensing research and training. You cannot login to them until an account has been set up for you. If you would like to have an account, please contact Lynn Carlson or phone her at 3-9917. Along with your user name you will be provided with an initial 2 GB of disk space on our GIS / RS server that is automatically mapped to drive letter H:/. If additional disk space is needed, we will do our best to accommodate your requests
Software Because the focus of the EARTH Lab is GIS and Remote Sensing, there are a limited number of software applications installed on these computers:
If you require a software application other than these to support your GIS/RS needs, please contact Lynn Carlson or phone her at 3-9917. Your request will be considered if possible.
Printers Three printers are available in the lab. Printing is currently provided free of charge, but please make every attempt to conserve paper and ink! Do NOT print personal material such as travel itineraries, personal emails, directions to bars downtown, photographs from your last vacation, etc. If it is not class/research related, do NOT print it!
Geospatial Data The entire Rhode Island Geographic Information System database is already housed on our server. In addition, many other geospatial data files for the United States and other countries are available. If you cannot find what you need on-line, please contact Lynn Carlson or phone her at 3-9917 for assistance. Please refer to Finding Geospatial Data for the steps needed to access these data.
