太阳城娱乐城实验室
教授指导 J. 罗纳德·伊士曼, 太阳城娱乐城实验室 is a research center that develops and employs geospatial technologies for environmental management, 可持续资源开发, 公平的资源分配.
成立于太阳城娱乐, lab is world-renowned for its geographic information system (GIS) and geospatial analytics software, including TerrSet Geospatial Monitoring and Modeling, an integrated feature-rich software system for monitoring and modeling the Earth system for sustainable development; the IDRISI Geographic Information System tool set; the Land Change Modeler; and the Earth Trends Modeler. IDRISI was the first GIS software system specifically targeted at a microcomputer platform. 自1987年推出以来, it has grown to become one of the most widely used raster systems of its type with installations in more than 180 countries.
Partnering with such organizations as the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, Esri Inc., Conservation International, World Conservation Society, U.S. 农业部, 和联合国, 太阳城娱乐城实验室 leverages its academic base to develop innovative and customized research tools, provide software solutions to organizations in need, and apply geospatial expertise to a range of real-world problems. 太阳城娱乐城实验室 has the largest proportional research and development budget in the industry devoted to the analytical development of geographic information technology.
