\n\n \n

At the Spatial Sciences Institute, we turn geospatial data into solutions for a healthy, prosperous and safe world. By harnessing the power of geospatial sciences and technologies, we foster collaboration, build consensus and support actions that tackle intractable global challenges.<\/p>\n

Through our innovative research and academic programs, we educate and launch today’s and tomorrow’s spatial problem solvers to deploy spatiotemporal perspectives and insights across every possible discipline and industry.<\/p>\n

We collaborate with faculty colleagues throughout the University of Southern California and with other prestigious institutions around the world on funded research that provides decision makers and citizens with strategies towards a more sustainable life on Planet Earth.<\/p>\n

\n
“I invite you to join our talented and committed students, faculty, staff and alumni as we unlock the power of geospatial data that provides answers and supports solutions for improved quality of life for everyone.”<\/div>\n
