Spatial Information Systems Lab
The Spatial Information Systems Lab conducts research and develops
technologies that enable users to access, integrate, and manage
spatial information. Spatial information is central in many human
activities, including GIS applications in the Earth and other sciences
and beyond to such areas as bioinformatics, neuroscience, government,
and commercial areas.

UCSD's
GIS Lab
The GIS lab primary purpose is to assist faculty and staff in the
utilization of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The lab is
located in the second floor, West Wing of the Geisel Library. The
lab houses 6 computers for use on project and class GIS assignments
with plotting and printing services as well. The lab utilizes a
variety of data including but not limited to U.S. Census information,
Digital Elevation Models (DEM), transportation (roads, railways,
airports), environmental (vegetation communities, species modeling),
archeological plots, as well as aerial photography and satellite
imagery.

TELESIS Quality of Life
(QOL) data warehouse and on-line GIS
The Quality of Life (QOL) project is a new, participatory approach
to public services strategic planning, interagency coordination,
and improved access by communities to regional data. The QOL concept
is linked directly to the greater role and responsibility that community
collaboratives now have in designing and improving social services
to better meet the needs of their neighborhood constituents. QOL
is a powerful, evidence-based system to measure the impact of grassroots
delivery systems on risk and protective factors affecting the health
and well-being of children, youth and families. In partnership with
the RWBC and UCSD's Superfund Basic Research Program, TELESIS is
leading a collaborative effort joining UCSD environmental sciences
with Quality of Life indicators. GIS, on-line interactive mapping,
and 3D visualization are fundamental compontents of this work.
