Mission

The Binghamton University GIS Campus Core Facility supports the research mission of the university.  It fosters the educated use of geographical information systems (GIS) and global positioning systems (GPS) technologies for the development and execution of funded basic and applied research.

Purpose and Commitment

The GIS Campus Core Facility was created in August 2001 in response to a growing need for GIS and GPS training in a variety of disciplines. We are committed to a program of quality training and informed interaction, as well as to the provision of selected secondary data sources, through a variety of short-courses and one-on-one interactions with users seeking funded research. While the facility will not create primary databases, it will train users in GIS and GPS data acquisition methods, assist them in research and design, and evaluate existing data sets provided by users.
