Spatial
Information Services 
Spatial Information Services endeavors to develop and
increase the use of remotely sensed data, geographic information
systems (GIS), and global positioning system (GPS) technology
for detecting and evaluating environmental status and change
in Asia and the Pacific, including Hawaii. Research and services
include using remotely sensed imagery for monitoring environmental
change in the region, integrating socioeconomic information
into the analysis of regional environmental change, and training
graduate students, visiting researchers, and East-West Center
staff and University of Hawaii faculty and students in aspects
of image processing, GIS, GPS, spatial statistics and the potential
applications of these tools and techniques for environmental
monitoring. Fostering collaborative research efforts among these
groups and building local, regional, and national capacities
for community-based resource management at international sites
are important components of spatial information services as
well.
The Spatial Information Laboratory,
under the overall direction of Senior Fellow Jefferson
Fox and managed by John
Vogler, is the data analysis facility and spatial information
technology training center. The East-West Center was awarded
a NASA Center of Excellence Grant for expanding the use of remotely
sensed information for detecting and evaluating environmental
change in Asia. Use the links below to learn more about Spatial
