The International Center for Innovation in Geospatial Analytics and Earth Observation
We are an international consortium of leaders in earth observation and geoinformatics dedicated to advancing knowledge of our changing planet. We pursue interdisciplinary research and development, spanning mission design to launch, encompassing instrument and algorithm development, advanced geospatial data analysis, and data assimilation and prediction, to develop applications in earth system science for societal benefit. We innovate in cutting-edge techniques designed to monitor and model Earth’s environment through global collaboration and excellence in both research and teaching.
MISSION: Our mission is to advance the development and application of remote sensing and geospatial technology and analysis, through international collaboration, innovation, and education.
VISION: Global leadership in remote sensing and geospatial technologies for societal benefit and environmental sustainability.
FULFILLING OUR VISION AND ACHIEVING OUR MISSION: The International Center for Innovation in Geospatial Analytics and Earth Observation (International GEO Center) will support the development and exploitation of both remote sensing and geospatial information science through computation, data science, and technology to advance knowledge of Earth’s environment, while simultaneously inspiring the next generation of global leaders in earth observation and geospatial analysis.
