IntGeoCenter.org: Fostering Global Collaboration in Geospatial Analytics and Earth Observation
We are thrilled to announce the launch of IntGeoCenter.org, the website of the International Center for Innovation in Geospatial Analytics and Earth Observation.
The Int. Geo Center is an international consortium of leaders in Earth observation and geoinformatics, driving interdisciplinary research and development while fostering global collaboration and excellence in the dynamic field of geospatial technology and analysis.
The Int. Geo Center’s website serves as a hub for the consortium’s groundbreaking initiatives that span the entire spectrum of Earth observation and geospatial science. By harnessing cutting-edge techniques, computational power, data science and technological advancements, the consortium aims to enhance our knowledge of Earth's environment and drive progress in achieving environmental sustainability.
Key highlights of the website:
- Information on Training Programs like the Quantitative Remote Sensing Summer School
- Workshops and Other Center Activities
- Fellowships for Graduate Students
- Exciting Collaborative Projects
The Int. Geo Center website showcases the breadth of collaborative activities undertaken by the Center, both through individual international collaborations by the Center participants as well as institutional partnerships. It can serve as a resource for individuals, academic institutions and industry members interested in building partnerships with the Center.
At the forefront of Earth observation and geospatial analytics, the Int. Geo Center contributes to transformative change and a sustainable future.
"With the rapid changes taking place around the world, it’s important that we strengthen our international research collaborations. Advances in geospatial data and analysis provide the means to help address the pressing challenges facing the global community," said GEOG Professor Chris Justice. "With its focus on international collaboration, innovation and education, the Int. Geo Center is making significant strides in advancing our understanding of Earth's environment to inform action."
