Mississippi State University created the institutional-level GeoResources Institute to combine and integrate academic and operational units active in conducting and coordinating research and educational activities in geospatial technologies and resource management - particularly agriculture, forestry, water resources, computational modeling, and visualization. An overview presentation of GRI is provided.

The GeoResources Institute brings together faculty from 22 departments within 6 colleges/units within Mississippi State University. The GRI also collaborates with many community colleges, and focuses on agriculture, water resources, state and local government, and economic development.

Our accomplished faculty and staff are at the forefront when establishing policy and are experienced in facilitating organizational strategic planning, and have a proven record of implementing such plans.
