Geospatial Lab



The Geospatial Lab is located in the Natural Resources Building at Michigan State University. Most of the research conducted in the lab relies on our small, but growing, Linux cluster and several large heterogeneous machines. The lab is currently supported by NSF, NASA, USDA Forest Service, and NPS projects.
