HEGIS relies on a large array of data. This page offers links to spatial data gateways and collections. There are also links to GIS and human-environment research.
Quick links:
GIS Sites
GIS at UMN
The Center for Urban
and Regional Affairs is a
good place to start
The MGIS program also has a number of good GIS links for the university
UMN is also home to a branch of the University Consortium of GIS
The UMN GIS Wiki has UMN-generated content and general information
Department of Forest Resources
Great Lakes Northern Forest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU)
The Environmental Resources Spatial Analysis Center
Minnesota Forest Resources Information Cooperative
Forest Resources ERSAC
GIS in General
CU
Resources for geographers has a lot of geographical information
and lessons
About Geography offers
a quite comprehensive list of links to various geography-related
sites.

University ESS collection.
The NCGIA
core curriculum is still a great source for basic GIS information,
as is the updated
GISCC.
USGCRP: US Climate
Change Science Program has a variety of information on GEC
AAG global change
modules from the Association of American Geographers.
