To this end, the Spatial Sciences Institute (SSI) supports and utilizes a variety of geospatial software, proprietary as well as open-source,\u00a0to promote and support spatial thinking, analysis, modeling and visualization throughout the university.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/spatial.usc.edu\/software\/proprietary-software-students\/\">Proprietary Software for Students<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/spatial.usc.edu\/software\/proprietary-software-faculty\/\">Proprietary Software for Faculty, Postdoctoral Associates and Staff<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/spatial.usc.edu\/index.php\/software\/open-source-gis-applications\/\">Open Source GIS Applications<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/spatial.usc.edu\/index.php\/software\/technical-support\/\">Technical Support<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our software foundation is through Esri\u2019s ArcGIS platform, by which our students explore the fundamental theories and technologies of Geographic Information Science (GIS). All students acquire competency with a broad range of functionality and tools currently provided in Esri\u2019s platform, and learn how to stay current on geographic information technology innovations as that platform continues to evolve. As the administrator of Esri\u2019s educational site license for the University of Southern California, SSI makes available Esri software for teaching, research, and administrative purposes. Under the terms of the educational site license, any commercial use is prohibited.<\/p>\n<p>The Idrisi Imaging Processing toolset included in Clark Labs\u2019 TerrSet geographic monitoring and modeling system and Trimble\u2019s e-Cognition software are used to support our remote sensing needs, and a Trimble community GPS base station on Catalina Island along with Trimble\u2019s Pathfinder Office and TerraSync software are used to support our spatial data field acquisition activities.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, our students learn the key role that open-source tools offer in expanding the utility of today\u2019s geographic information ecosystem. In several of our courses, students learn to extend the ArcGIS platform by integrating open-source technologies such as Python, R, QGIS, GeoServe, OpenLayers, GRASS and MapServer along with the\u00a0 PostGIS, PostgreSQL, CartoDB, SpatiaLite and the MySQL database systems and the Android operating system. Knowing how to use open-source tools requires an agility and willingness to explore and experiment: key skills for today\u2019s geospatial scholars and professionals.<\/p>\n<p>The geographic information ecosystems also include a diversity of data sources that GIS professionals must know how to discover. Many of these are freely available, including authoritative government sources such as the National Map and data.gov, privately curated collections such as ArcGIS Online and davidrumsey.org, and crowd-sourced geodata from organizations such as OpenStreetMap and ebird.org. We also provide our students access to some of the key proprietary geographic information databases such as the business location, consumer spending, demographic, socioeconomic, traffic and crime data distributed as part of Esri\u2019s ArcGIS Business Analyst Desktop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--rich-text\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n      \n<div class=\"f--field f--wysiwyg\">\n\n    \n  <h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2206 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/spatial\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/102\/2023\/08\/Beau-and-Phil-8-cropped-300x191.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/spatial\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/102\/2023\/08\/Beau-and-Phil-8-cropped-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/spatial\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/102\/2023\/08\/Beau-and-Phil-8-cropped-1024x653.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/spatial\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/102\/2023\/08\/Beau-and-Phil-8-cropped-768x490.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/spatial\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/102\/2023\/08\/Beau-and-Phil-8-cropped-1536x980.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/spatial\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/102\/2023\/08\/Beau-and-Phil-8-cropped-2048x1306.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Help Desk<\/h3>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">Help Desk hours are MON 3 &#8211; 4 pm | FRI 11 am &#8211; 12 pm<\/h4>\n<p>Need help with maps?
