USC Spatial Sciences Institute
THE POWER OF PLACE AND SPACE
We see the world differently: we view it through a spatial lens and use “where” to help address global challenges. As the hub of spatial thinking and analysis at the University of Southern California (USC), we partner with researchers, businesses, non-profits, NGOs, and other entities to analyze, model, and visualize location-based data. Our internationally recognized faculty contributes to the rapidly evolving body of geospatial knowledge. Through our innovative academic programs, we develop the next generation of spatial thinkers, empowering them with the capabilities to solve real-world issues.
