Description
Summary:GIS has been extensively used in almost all the fields of study, be it natural sciences, social sciences, archaeology, surveying, marketing etc. and you name any field of study for that matter. It shows the importance of GIS in the present world. The strength of GIS is its ability to integrate data from different sources and carryout spatial analysis to arrive at meaningful conclusions which otherwise would not be possible. The following paragraphs throw some light on the basic concepts of GIS and how it could be used to analyse climate change (how the climate change has affected the SST over Barents Sea through the period 1891 to 2018 and to calculate Oceanic NiƱo Index (ONI).
