USF´s Geospatial Analysis Lab (GsAL)

Welcome to the Geospatial Analysis Lab (GsAL) at the University of San Francisco! We're dedicated to fostering a deep understanding of geographic technologies like #ArcGISPro, Google's #EarthEngine, web mapping, #LiDAR, and remote sensing. Our team offers consultations and project management for students, faculty, and external partners. Stay tuned for updates on events at the lab, information on #GIS courses, and ways to get involved in the program! 🌍🔍 #GeospatialAnalysis #USF #RemoteSensing

 Last week, Professors David Saah and Maria Fernanda Lopez Ornelas represented USF’s Geospatial Analysis Lab at the SERVIR Global’s SAGE Exchange. Through SERVIR Global, a NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and USAID joint project, USFCA is committed to building capacity in geospatial technologies that address pressing environmental challenges. We look forward to advancing these critical collaborations. Together, let’s continue to create solutions “from space to village” and #climateresilience #Geospatial #ClimateResilience #USFCA #SAGE2024 #SERVIR #GsAL #EnvironmentalScience

Kicking off the 🌍 🌏 SERVIR Global Exchange, our first in-person network gathering in four years! We look forward to a week of reflecting on our #ClimateResilience efforts and exploring how we can further connect communities and decision-makers with NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration 🛰 data. Thank you to our partners who traveled across the globe for this event. 🛫 USAID Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC) ICIMOD SERVIR Amazonia SERVIR WEST AFRICA CATIE Oficial #SAGE2024 #Space2Village

Last week the authors of the book “Cloud-Based Remote Sensing with Google Earth Engine: Fundamentals and Applications”, Morgan Crowley, PhD, Nicholas Clinton, Jeff Cardille, and David Saah gathered at the #Google Geo for Good Mini Summit in Dublin. Featuring over 100 authors and 55 chapters, this book is a collaborative effort that provides invaluable insights into using cloud-based tools for environmental monitoring and public good. This text is designed to help beginners dive into cutting-edge research and applications.

🌍✨ Exciting Presentation at Google's Geo for Good Mini Summit in Dublin! ✨🌍 We’re thrilled to share that at this year’s Geo for Good Mini Summit last week in Dublin, Professor David Saah  presented on using cutting-edge tools to enhance wildfire resilience and landscape conservation. Leveraging Google Earth Engine and other geospatial technologies, we demonstrated how data-driven decision-making is transforming how we manage wildfire risk and promote ecological health. 🌱🔥 Our work is a great example of how technology and science can come together to make real-world impacts. Stay tuned as we continue pushing the boundaries of innovation in conservation and climate resilience! 🔗 Link to presentation: https://lnkd.in/evXPTwfp #GeoForGood #WildfireResilience #GoogleEarthEngine #ClimateAction #ConservationTech #Sustainability #DataDriven #EnvironmentalInnovation #GeoForGoodDublin #USFCA # GsAL #GIS
