1st Geographical Information Systems (GIS) graduates in GVI Mexico! Next course in Costa Rica - watch out for it!

Last week 11 students including staff from Punta Gruesa & Pez Maya expeditions, the GVI Regional Office and locals from Mahahual successfully accomplished a 40 hour ArcGIS course for Environmental Analysis. The course,instructed by John Schaeffer from Juniper GIS, was a very intense but useful and very interesting insight into the GIS world!.

Using different environmental scenarios we worked with ArcMap, ArcCatalog and Arctools and learnt the basics and pretty complex tools too.

Our brains are still hurting but now we are able to create maps to locate and analyze the compiled data from our Marine Expeditions or simply create a map to make it home!! We would like to cheer all the GIS graduates and thank John, Patty and Paul from JuniperGIS for their time and patience teaching us.

We are also very much looking forward the Costa Rica GIS course (this September - http://www.gvi.co.uk/courses/central-america/costa-rica/GIS-course-costa-rica/home) which will be for sure very useful, interesting and fun!
