NSF I-GUIDE

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Institute for Geospatial Understanding through an Integrative Discovery Environment (I-GUIDE) aims to transform geospatial data-intensive sciences through the integration of AI and cyberGIS, reproducible data-intensive analytics and modeling, FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) data principles, and innovative education and workforce development programs. This transformation catalyzes new convergence science necessary to drive advances across many fields ranging from computer, data and information sciences to atmospheric sciences, ecology, economics, environmental science and engineering, human-environment and geographical sciences, hydrology and water sciences, industrial engineering, sociology, and statistics. Through synergistic advances in these fields, I-GUIDE is empowering diverse communities to produce data-intensive solutions to society’s resilience and sustainability challenges.
