About Us
The Institute for Geospatial Analysis & Mapping (GEOMAP), formerly known as GIS Services, was unveiled with a dedication ceremony on November 9, 2007.
The Institute is housed in the Department of Geography-Geology at Illinois State University. Its mission is three-fold, aiming to support research, education and training, and community outreach activities that facilitate sustainable environmental and socioeconomic development through the application of state-of-the-art spatial sciences and technologies.
Geographic Information Science and Systems (GIS), remote sensing, digital cartography, and Global Positioning Systems lie at the heart of these technologies.
GEOMAP activities offer unique learning experience and professional development opportunities to our students that often lead to summer internships and full-time employment opportunities.
We encourage you to visit our website. Its pages highlight the wide range of accomplishments, and activities that our faculty, students, and members of our community partake in. We welcome suggestions or comments.
