Research Project

By its very nature, GIS programs must be interdisciplinary. GIS related teaching, research, and community services facilitate integration of pedagogical effort at university level and promote collaboration among faculty, staff, students, and members of the community. Some of the projects supported by the Institute of GIS and Spatial Analysis include:
Community Mapping

• Real time community mapping: evaluating two wireless technology approaches
• Monterey County Childcare Needs Assessment
• Retail site selection and market analysis using GIS
• Wildfire mapping and simulation
• Digital spatial database for the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary
