About

KARS Program offices and laboratories are located in Higuchi Hall located on West Campus. KARS' Digital Image Processing and GIS Laboratories support digital processing and classification of digital imagery, GIS modeling, geographic data base creation, cartographic production, statistical analysis, and computer graphics. These facilities provide our staff with a unique capacity for integrated natural resources analysis and modeling.

In 2001, a cooperative agreement between the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) and the Kansas Applied Remote Sensing (KARS) Program at the University of Kansas was created to provide KDWP access to the benefits of GIS technology without having to develop a computer lab and train their personnel to be both biologists and GIS specialists.
