TNRIS Student Intern Program

Students learn and practice hands-on skills while providing valuable assistance to the TNRIS staff. Students can contribute to TNRIS projects and daily operations, earning college credit and experience in the profession of geographic information systems.

Layer Spotlight

Layer Spotlight is a new way to showcase the rich, extensive geographic data housed at TNRIS. It is a chance to view and explore a data layer before downloading.

It is part of the implementation of a new data viewing application incorporating Microsoft Virtual Earth® software. In the future, as TNRIS further develops its data dissemination tools, keep an eye out for even more robust and dynamic applications.
