LSU has tremendous capabilities in the area of remote sensing, mapping, and geographic information systems (ie, geographic information science or GISc). In 1989, a university-wide remote sensing and GIS council (RSGIS) composed of faculty members and researchers from various units was established. The council reports to the Vice-Chancellor for Research and Graduate Studies, with primary responsibilities in facilitating interdisciplinary research and coordination among the various units. Since then, geographic information science activities have been increasing rapidly, expanding to various units and centers across the campus.
This web site, which serves as LSU's UCGIS member portfolio, provides a brief description of the accomplishments of the major units and departments that have been actively involved in research and eduction in GIS for at least several years.
