About
Center for Geospatial Sciences (CGS) represents a major investment by UCR in geospatial sciences. The vision for the Center is to establish a core of excellence at UCR that becomes an internationally renowned source of innovation in geographical information science, open source tools development, application, and dissemination. This vision will be realized by leveraging existing, and emerging, areas of strength from across UCR and by exploiting external opportunities latent in the critical need for spatial analytical perspectives in addressing the major challenges facing our cities, regions, nations, and planet. Four pillars form the foundation of the Center’s mission: (1) Fundamental research in spatial analysis; (2) Open source software & Open science; (3) Collaborative interdisciplinary research; (4) Dissemination & Training.
