GIS is used by numerous departments on campus and the applications it is used for are widespread and varied. The following is a list of some of the GIS groups active at UGA. This list is not comprehensive. If you would like your research group's GIS activities listed here, please contact us.

Carl Vinson Institute of Government: The Institute offers a multitude of GIS solutions.

Center for Remote Sensing and Mapping Science (CRMS): The Center for Remote Sensing and Mapping Science (CRMS) at The University of Georgia undertakes interdisciplinary research projects requiring the development of image and map data processing technologies for applications in the physical, biological and mapping sciences.

Coweeta LTER Home Page: The Little Tennessee Collection contains the core GIS data set for these various projects along with supporting instructions and metadata.

University of Georgia Office of University Architects: The GIS Mapping project is an initiative by Finance & Administration to document the University's changing physical campus. One of the first databases of its kind, the GIS project began in 1992 and has been operated by the Office of University Architects (OUA) since 1996. Under OUA's leadership, the GIS database now forms the foundation for UGA's campus planning and development activities.

UGA Information Technology Outreach Services : In 1996, the state's Information Technology Policy Council (ITPC) established the Georgia GIS Data Clearinghouse, a collaborative effort between ITOS at the University of Georgia in Athens and the Center for Geographic Information Systems at Georgia Tech in Atlanta. The purpose of this project was to develop a statewide inventory, metadata standards, and an Internet site for distribution of data which is in high demand because it is foundational for adequate planning in such areas as business expansion, public infrastructure requirements, land use planning, economic development, technical and adult education, and University System education.
