Spatial USC John Wilson 22 September 2009

The Past Year John Wilson Spatial USC – 2 USC Geography Department moved into refurbished space which included new computer resources, classrooms, & labs More than half the faculty departed for various reasons Department underwent a regularly scheduled academic review These three developments have afforded us an opportunity to imagine a completely new future …

The Current Year John Wilson Spatial USC – 3 Several key decisions were made in light of faculty departures and academic review … A newly appointed Spatial Science Faculty Advisory Committee is busy preparing proposals for doctoral and undergraduate spatial science programs USC Geography Department will cease to exist as of 30 June 2010 Geographic Information Science & Technology Master’s and Graduate Certificate Programs will be retained and slated for growth GIS Research Laboratory will be repositioned and strengthened Center for Sustainable Cities has been moved to School of Policy, Planning and Development

GIST Online Programs John Wilson Spatial USC – 4 M.S. Degree & Graduate Certificate Programs Full suite of semester-length courses Concepts for Spatial Thinking (R) Spatial Databases (R) Spatial Analysis and Modeling Geospatial Project Management GIS Programming and Customization GIS/GPS Field Techniques (R) Remote Sensing for GIS Cartography and Visualization Web GIS Master’s Thesis

GIST Online Courses John Wilson Spatial USC – 5 Assignments in each of these courses cater to multiple disciplines (business, civil engineering, earth science, public health, etc.) Full range of software training and support – for example we have deployed Citrix to provide server- side implementations of ESRI desktop suite for our students GIS/GPS Field Techniques includes a one-week field experience on Catalina Island We are about to launch a new geoportal to share geospatial datasets with faculty, students, public, etc.

GIS Research Lab John Wilson Spatial USC – 6 Newly designated ESRI Development Center Manages campus site licenses Provides various web services Large investment in variety of geospatial software & applications 5 faculty, 12 doctoral students, 4 master’s & undergraduate research assistants, & 3 support staff

New Programs … John Wilson Spatial USC – 7 Spatial Science Doctoral Program Spatial Thinking & Analysis Geospatial Information Management Geocomputation More … Spatial Science Undergraduate Program Cartography & Visualization Field Techniques Introduction to Geographic Information Systems Principles of Geographic Information Science Remote Sensing

New Collaboration Opportunities We need to connect our students with your worlds … Doctoral students – high risk, multi-year projects with flexible deadlines Master’s students – smaller, less ambitious projects that can be completed in ≤ 9 months Undergraduate students – semester-long collaborative projects, internships, etc. John Wilson Spatial USC – 8

Questions … John Wilson Spatial USC – 9 Spatial Science Programs GIST Programs GIS Research Laboratory
