The Geographic Information Sciences (GISc) Laboratory was established during summer 2000.
Since then, the Director has supervised several undergraduate students in
geographic information systems (GIS) service learning-based research to
address anthropocentric problems and natural hazards associated with urban environments.
Funding has primarily come from NASA and the USDA through the
TSU Center of Excellence in Information Systems and Engineering Management.
Additional funds have come from the U.S. Department of Energy through the
TSU Massie Chair of Excellence in Environmental Science.

At present the GISc Lab has two Dell Pentium III, one Howard Pentium III,
and one Howard Pentium IV class workstations attached to a
HP DesignJetColorPro CAD Plotter. Global Positioning Systems (GPS) capabilities are supported by two
Trimble GeoExplorer3 units, a Trimble GeoXT with GPS Pathfinder
Office and ArcPad software, three Garmin GPS 72 receivers, and a Garmin
Etrex Personal Navigator. Peripherals include CalComp SummaSketch III digitizing tablets and a
