The Geosystems Research Institute (GRI) conducts and coordinates research and educational activities in resource
management within our environment. GRI's research efforts has the objective to increase the fundamental
understanding and utilization of the Earth's natural resource systems; develop resource management
capabilities, which engage computer-based decision support systems that protect, enhance and utilize land
and water resources through applications of science-based knowledge; maximize information that can be
derived and utilized from remote sensing and other geospatial technologies for socio-economic benefits; and
provide continuous outreach and educational opportunities to the public in order to keep them well
informed of state-of-the-art technologies. GRI is conducting cutting-edge research in the following areas:
Using the infrastructure and expertise of one of the largest high performance computing centers (HPC2) in the United States, the GRI provides capabilities in remote sensing computational technologies, visualization techniques, natural resource management, and the transition of these into operational agency research, planning, and decision-support programs. With its multi-disciplinary team of researchers and educators, the GRI has developed nationally recognized research strengths, with strong relationships and inherent respect from state, regional and national agencies and business entities.
Revolutionary advances in technology development have driven the expectations for remote sensing and computer-aided decision support systems to an all-time high. New generations of resource managers and policymakers want broadly accessible resource analysis and management tools that integrate the recent advances in computational and sensor technologies and visualization products. They understand that such tools can lead to increased economic efficiencies and can significantly increase the value of the resource systems they steward.
