GIScience Research Labs at Kansas State University
Geographic Information Systems Spatial Analysis Laboratory
164A Seaton Hall | 785-532-5685 | gissal@k-state.edu
Director: Shawn Hutchinson
The Geographic Information System Spatial Analysis Laboratory (GISSAL) was established in August 1990 as a multidisciplinary center supporting spatial research, education, and outreach activities at Kansas State University. Recognized as a National Center of Digitizing Excellence by the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service and contributor to the 2005 ESRI Special Achievement in GIS Award for Agriculture presented to Kansas State University, GISSAL combines faculty expertise and trained graduate and undergraduate student technicians with advanced geospatial technology and sophisticated spatial analysis capabilities.
GISSAL offers a modern computing infrastructure, access to state-of-the-art data visualization tools, and the most powerful GIS, satellite remote sensing, CAD, digital mapping, database, and statistical analysis software packages. Although primarily a research facility, GISSAL offers contract services including GIS database design and construction, digital cartographic support and production (including web-servable interactive maps), and customized GIS workshops and software training.
Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI)
CUAHSI, an organization representing more than one hundred United States universities, receives support from the National Science Foundation to develop infrastructure and services for the advancement of hydrologic science and education in the U.S.
On March 24-25, 2009, K-State hosted a workshop for publishing data with the CUAHSI Hydrologic Information System (HIS). Powerpoint presentations from the workshop are listed below:
