The Geospatial Imaging and Informatics Facility (GIIF) supports research & outreach
activities for those interested in geospatial analysis utilizing remote
sensing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), spatial analysis, landscape
ecology, visualization, and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) technology.
The Facility supports multi-scale geospatial research through
training, assistance and collaboration. Our main goals are to: provide visiting
scholar space, enhance undergraduate recruitment, support graduate research,
generate and provide timely and quality spatial data for analysis,
and provide meeting spacefor those interested in our technologies.

Jeremy comes to us from a Master’s program in the Geography Department at UC Santa Barbara, where he worked on famine early warning systems using multi-spectral remote sensing techniques. He focused on crop production estimation to try and help famine abatement efforts in Eastern and Southern Africa. Jeremy spent 5 months living in Botswana developing a “crop estimation tool” for the Southern African Development Community (SADC) which utilized MODIS satellite data and GIS techniques. He also has a background in Web/Graphic design and Information Technology. Please contact him for all GIIF issues and questions as well as remote sensing/GIS support.
