Partnerships and Associations

Contracts and grants alone fund operations at the RS/ GIS Laboratory. The associated faculty, professional staff, graduate and undergraduate students conduct research to meet the requirements of contracting agencies (See Lab Info). These agencies include the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, the USDA-U.S.Forest Service, the U.S. Department of Defense, and other private, state, federal and international land management entities.

Many of these agencies cooperate to apply laboratory research directly to current land management problems. This partnership is facilitated by the Interagency Natural Resources and Environmental Analysis Synthesis Center founded in 1995 by a group of leading land management agencies.
