Welcome
Yale Center for Geospatial Solutions
The Yale Center for Geospatial Solutions (YCGS) aims to transform geospatial science, data analysis, and infrastructure through enhanced research support for faculty and students. Our mission is to (1) enable transformative research to solve humanity’s most pressing challenges, (2) convene uncommon connections among individuals, organizations, and networks, and (3) empower action by creating positive outcomes for people and the planet.
The Earth Observation Lab
The Earth Observation Lab (EOL), part of YCGS, provides a centralized source of remote sensing hardware, software, and expertise for the Yale community. Assistance is available to help users in the selection, procurement and analysis of satellite images. The EOL supports Windows-based systems featuring high-end workstations. The workstations have been configured to handle the graphic demands and large files typical in remote sensing, using high performance video graphics cards and 24-inch flat panel (LCD) displays. This equipment, coupled with the latest versions of the predominant remote sensing and GIS software, provides a strong foundation to support the remote sensing needs of the Yale community.
