Welcome to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Program

The GIS program at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) fosters interdisciplinary science, spatial data interoperability, and knowledge sharing using GIS. The goal of our program is to promote and support the use of GIS as both an analytical and infrastructure tool in atmospheric research, as well as using the discipline to address broader issues of spatial data management, interoperability, and geoinformatics within the geosciences. Our focus areas include:

  • conducting research integrating the Earth system and social sciences through spatial analysis and interoperability of georeferenced information;
  • improving spatial accuracy and usability of atmospheric models for terrestrial and societal applications; and
  • building an AtmoGIS community and institutional capacity through workshops, GIS-focused education and training.
