Geoinformatic Applications (GA) is a collaborative, interdisciplinary nonprofit online organization focused on providing innovative geospatial solutions. The organization aims to:
- provide scientifically-based decision-support systems to technical and non-technical users,
- apply GIS tools and technologies to a variety of research and industry problems, and
- establish a collaborative environment that facilitates cooperation between researchers.
GA accomplishes these aims through the Section on Research and Analysis which employs analytics in geographic information systems and remote sensing. Currently the Section utilizes ArcGIS 9.3, ERDAS Image 9.1, ENVI 4.7, IDRISI Andes, ER Mapper 7.1, R 2.10.1, Maxent 3.3.2, ILWIS 3.6, DIVA-GIS, SAGA.
The organization also provides expertise to establishments that are initiating their own in-house geospatial operations and conducts projects for those that have no geospatial capabilities of their own.
The organization is listed on idealist.org and on LinkedIn.
The Geospatial Technologist (GT) is an information platform that promotes the use of geospatial technologies. It aims to facilitate knowledge transfer and the creation of an international network of students, researchers and practitioners engaged in the exchange of geospatial ideas and expertise. The platform is designed for:
- posting thoughts on geospatial issues,
- news updates and interesting links, and
- posting current and ongoing research
The listserv is designed to be a place where:
- ideas could be exchanged,
- collaborations and proposals initiated,
- advice and professional assistance are offered,
- problems are discussed and solved, and
- colleagues can stay in touch.
The listserv promotes a collaborative environment. List members help each other and offer one another constructive criticism and professional opinion on problems, issues or topics that are posted.
