:. PRI :. Core Services :. GIA Core

The GIA Core provides services in support of population science at Penn State. Our services emphasize spatial statistics, advanced spatial analysis methods, exploratory spatial data analysis and customized GIS/spatial analysis programming. In addition the GIA Core provides service in support of the collection of intensive longitudinal geospatial data and the building of contextual and ecological databases as well as the traditional services associated with mapping/cartography (including web-based mapping) and geospatial acquisition, archiving and management.
