Welcome to the University GIS Centre- An interdisciplinary centre for geospatial research and learning.
The University GIS Centre is a university-wide establishment that was founded in 2001 to provide Interdisciplinary Geospatial and earth observation competencies to units where where spatial competences are important. These units span a wide range of disciplines, including Environment, Spatial Planning and Architecture, Cadaster, Land Management, Geography, Business, Health, Ecology, Civil engineering, water resources, transport and Logistics, Agriculture, Forestry, Biology, computer science, and many more.
Our aim is to equip units where spatial competencies are crucial with the skills to effectively utilize geospatial (location) information and services. The GIS centre is an active collaborator with academic, private, and public sector partners that utilize geospatial information and services for decision support. The center, therefore, offers the following services;
- Conducting and co-supervision of research involving the use of GI-Science methods and theories
- Educational and training opportunities in use of geospatial and earth observation technologies to university units, government institutions and the private sector
- Community outreach and consultancy services to private sector and government institutions. Such services include; geodata services, capacity building, data capture (surveys, thematic, participatory mapping) in the field and analysis, A0 scanning and printing, and digitization of large-scale maps.
