The CEGIS Annual Research Meeting provides an opportunity for researchers and collaborators across USGS, academia, and partner organizations to discuss ongoing work, emerging research directions, and operational needs related to geospatial science and technology.
The 2026 U.S. Geological Survey Center of Excellence for Geospatial Information Science (CEGIS) Annual Research Meeting is being held June 23-25, 2026, in Denver and online.
The CEGIS Annual Research Meeting provides an opportunity for researchers and collaborators across USGS, academia, and partner organizations to discuss ongoing work, emerging research directions, and operational needs related to geospatial science and technology.
The meeting is intended to support technical coordination, strengthen collaboration across organizational boundaries, and identify future opportunities for research-to-operations integration. Sessions will focus on current progress, methodological challenges, future directions, and areas where collaborative approaches can improve geospatial analysis, data stewardship, and operational capability.
Topics this year include AI-enabled geospatial analysis, terrain and landform research, geospatial semantics and knowledge graphs, feature extraction, multiscale representation, and related emerging technologies and workflows.
