The Center of Excellence for Geospatial Information Science (CEGIS) is proud to host the 2025 U.S. Geological Survey’s Center of Excellence for Geospatial Information Science (CEGIS) Annual Research Meeting July 22-24, 2025. The virtual calendar event is being hosted by the USGS Community for Data Integration (CDI) in collaboration with CEGIS and is invitation only. The annual research meeting is...

USGS geospatial data comes in many formats and in many scales. It could be the notes of a surveyor mapping the Colorado River in the nineteenth century or the measurement of the atmosphere from a contemporary weather balloon. An important role of DM is integrating the diverse information and making it useable to various users. Data Integration research at CEGIS primarily involves integrating data...

While emergency responses to large-scale natural or man-made disasters are fairly well studies, less attention has been paid to returning an urban environment to its former state of normality (its resiliency). The most recent start-up project at CEGIS involves integrating geospatial data from The National Map and other sources with infrastructure data and supply chain data to model.

The geophysical data integration project at CEGIS currently involves leveraging large web-based data sets with local surveys and The National Map in order to extend the range and the resolution of such surveys with a minimum expenditure on additional field time. Most recently this has been applied to the North American Gravity Database.

This research partition looks at integrating various data sets with The National Map data layers in order to promote scientific endeavors, public safety, economic assets or quality of life. Recent efforts have included:
