Idaho has a rich culture of Geospatial and GIScience research. Further, Geospatial and Visualization research is a strong theme at the University of Idaho.
  Research spotlights
 
  The Forest and Rangeland Measurements Laboratory (FRML)

The FRML lab focuses on all aspects of measurements from traditional forest inventory and biometrics approaches to the cutting-edge application of remote sensing and GIScience methods to characterize plot to landscape-scale process and the impacts of fire and other disturbances on the environment.

Measurements are at the core of all Natural Resources research and management, whether conducting a traditional forest inventory to model the growth and yield of a given species or evaluating the habitat type of an endangered species in a rangeland. Regardless of of goal,  it is essential to use appropriate measurement and sampling methods.

The lab is co-directed by Dr Alistair Smith and Dr Eva Strand and is in the College of Natural Resources.

  The Geospatial Laboratory for Ecosystem Dynamics (GLED)

The lab focuses on all aspects of environmental remote sensing  from traditional analysis of multispectral remote sensing to the cutting-edge application of geospatial methods such as LiDAR, flux towers, and Hyperspectral sensors to characterize landscape-regional-global scale process.

The lab is co-directed by Dr Paul Gessler and Dr Lee Vierling and is in the College of Natural Resources.
  The Teaching Facility
  The Department of Geography

Spatial analysis and geospatial technology in central to the mission of the Department of Geography at the University of Idaho. In addition to a rich diversity and history of geospatial and visualization research, the department offers degrees in geography at the BS, MS, and PhD levels, plus a certificate in Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

The Department chair of Geography is Dr
