119 INTERDISCIPLINARY EDUCATION IN REMOTE SENSING AND GIS THE WISCONSIN EXPERIENCE Ralph W. Kiefer, Professor Civil and Environmental Engineering and Institute for Environmental Studies Thomas M. Lillesand, Professor Institute for Environmental Studies, Forestry, and Civil and Environmental Engineering University of Wisconsin-Madison Madison, WI 53706, USA ABSTRACT Faculty at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have been involved with interdisciplinary education in remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) for more than 20 years. Remote sensing instruction is centered in the Environmental Monitoring Program, an interdisciplinary graduate program in remote sensing and geographic information systems administered by the Institute for Environmental Studies (IES). Remote sensing research is conducted both through individual departments and the Environmental Remote Sensing Center, an IES research center. GIS instruction and research are conducted in several departments and are coordinated by an ad-hoc faculty group representing eight academic departments and IES. UW-Madison faculty have implemented a wide variety of extension/out reach programs and technology transfer projects, and have been involved in formulating state and federal policy in regard to the use and impact of GIS technology. Instruction, research and extension/outreach activities in remote sensing and GIS are supported by various campus instructional and research laboratories and centers. KEY WORDS: remote sensing, geographic information systems, land information systems, education, instruction, research, environmental monitoring, interdisciplinary INTRODUCTION At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, faculty and students from many disciplines participate in remote sensing and GIS instruction and research. Representative disciplines include agricultural economics, agronomy, anthropology, botany, civil and environmental engineering, computer sciences, conservation biology, electrical and computer engineering, engineering professional development, environmental studies, forestry, geography, geological engineering, geology and geophysics, horticulture, landscape architecture, land resources, law, meteorology, physics, plant pathology, soil science, statistics, urban and regional planning, water resources, and zoology. Instruction and research in remote sensing and GIS are supported by a broad range of facilities such as: the Cartographic Laboratory and Arthur H. Robinson Map Library, Environmental Remote Sensing Center, Land Information and Computer Graphics Facility, Spatial Data Acquisition and Analysis Laboratory, Computer Science Systems Laboratory, Center for Land Information Studies, Madison Academic Computing Center, Wisconsin State Cartographer’s Office, and the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey. These facilities are maintained by various administrative units on our campus. Much of the GIS activity at the University of Wisconsin-Madison is in the area of land information systems (LIS). In 1984, the University of Wisconsin-Madison was designated as a North American "Center of Excellence" in land information studies by the Institute for Land Information and the Land Inlormation Assembly. Because of the close relationship between land information systems and geographic information systems, we often refer on campus to our "GIS/LIS" activities. In this paper, wc will simply use the term GIS; the inclusion of LIS is implied where appropriate.
