UCGIS

UCGIS, or the University Consortium for Geographic Information Science, is an organization that brings together researchers and educators dedicated to advancing geographic information science. This field involves studying how to acquire, analyze, and visualize spatial data—information related to locations on Earth's surface. UCGIS promotes collaboration, education, and innovation to improve understanding of geographic technologies like GIS (Geographic Information Systems), helping fields such as urban planning, environmental management, and transportation make informed decisions based on spatial data.
