Ohio University Cartographic Center (OUCC) |
The Ohio University Cartographic Center (OUCC), located in Clippinger Hall 104, is a cartographic production lab for advanced research projects in geovisualization and map design. The OUCC serves clients on campus and nationally with map production support for books, journal articles, posters, and dynamic (interactive and animated) cartography, utilizing graphic design (Illustrator, Photoshop, and Flash) and mapping (ArcGIS, Natural Scene Designer, and World Construction Set) software. The center's phone number is (740) 593-1150. |
Carl Ross Geomorphology Research Laboratory |
The Carl Ross Geomorphology Research Laboratory, located on The Ridges, became operational in 1996. This facility is used for research regarding landforms and their component sediments. It contains tools, instruments, and equipment for grain size analysis, field measurements, mapping, and air photo interpretation. |
Long Term Social and Ecological Research Room |
The Long Term Social and Ecological Research Room was created in 2000 and recently moved to Morton Hall 425. The room has a dedicated server, three workstations, microfilm reader, desk space and other resources for the several faculty and graduate students working on projects related to the Baltimore Ecosystem Study, one of two Urban Long Term Ecological Research sites in the country.
