GIS MAPPING RESEARCH LEGACY
Emeritus faculty can preserve their research legacy at Michigan Tech through a GIS web mapping allication service at the Library. This interactive tool visually maps the geographic locations of a faculty member's research publications, offering a dynamic representation of their scholarly impact. With an intuitive interface, users can explore an interactive map where research sites are pinpointed and connected to corresponding publications. A time slider feature allows viewers to see how a faculty member's research contributions have evolved over the years, creating a living timeline of their academic journey. This digital archive not only honors their contributions but also provides a valuable resource for current and future scholars. If you are an Emeritus Faculty member and are interested in having one of these applications build for you, please Submit a Service Request.
