| Spatial Intelligence and Learning Center | Link |
The Spatial Intelligence and Learning Center (SILC) brings together scientists and educators from Temple University, Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) to pursue the overarching goals of
SILC participants include researchers from cognitive science, psychology, computer science, education, and neuroscience, as well as practicing geoscientists and engineers who are particularly interested in spatial thinking in their fields, and teachers in the CPS. |
| The GeoDa Center for Geospatial Analysis and Computation | Link |
The GeoDa Center for Geospatial Analysis and Computation at Arizona State University develops state-of-the-art methods for geospatial analysis, geovisualization, geosimulation, and spatial process modeling, implements them through software tools applies them to policy-relevant research in the social and environmental sciences, and disseminates them through training and support to a growing worldwide geospatial community. |
| Spatial and Map Cognition Research Lab (U of Oregon) | Link |
from the SMCRL web site: The Spatial and Map Cognition Research Laboratory is housed in the Department of Geography at the University of Oregon. We are a research laboratory composed of students and faculty, under the direction of Dr. Amy Lobben. We engage in inter- and cross-disciplinary research in (numerous) areas. |
| Research on Place and Space | Link |
Bruce B. Janz, Associate Professor of Humanities in the Department of Philosophy at University of Central Florida has assembled a remarkable portal to resources on the concepts of place and space From the site introduction: These pages pull together work on the concept of place from a wide range of disciplines. The term "place" does not necessarily have the same implications or meanings in the different disciplines. Furthermore, other terms are sometimes used in place of place, such as home, dwelling, milieu, territory, and of course, space. None of these, though, are necessarily equivalent to the notion of place. The purpose of this set of resources is to try to cross-pollinate the notion of place across disciplines. Philosophy, for example (my... |
| National Geospatial Program |
The National Geospatial Program provides leadership for USGS geospatial coordination, production and service activities. The Program engages partners to develop standards and produce consistent and accurate data through its Geospatial Liaison Network. Operational support is provided by the National Geospatial Technical Operations Center. These and other Program activities that are essential to the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) are managed as a unified portfolio that benefits geospatial information users throughout the Nation. |
