Consulting services include assistance with geographic information systems, data analysis and extraction, statistical software, scientific visualization and remote sensing software. We also provide training in the uses of desktop GIS programs and organize seminars and workshops in GIS. The GIS Center has two physical divisions, the Teaching Lab and the Research lab. The High Performance Database Research Center, International Hurricane Center, South Florida Environment Research Program, FIU Department of Geology, Environmental Studies, and Landscape Architecture and Design all help to equip the lab with hardware and software, enabling us to fulfill our goals and objectives.
