So when does an Animal Science student need to use\u00a0EDINA Digimap<\/a> and GIS software?\u00a0 The answer is not all do, but you never know where your dissertation project may take you, and what software may help your research or your presentation or visualisation of results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grace\u2019s dissertation took her to Sunderland to road test the country\u2019s first gas sniffer dog.  Collaborating with an Earth Science student to help her use the mapping products and with training from the geosciences team in using GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) accurate to 2cm, she plotted the gas leaks and successful finds by her faithful four legged co-worker.  The team demonstrated that a dog\u2019s nose is as good conventional gas detection equipment, and could be very helpful with difficult to trace gas leaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
