GeoResources Institute Mississippi State University

Annual Report 2002-2003

Description of Institute:

Until recently, Mississippi State University had several centers and institutes conducting and coordinating research and educational activities in geospatial technologies and natural resource management (agriculture, forestry, and water resources). However, MSU determined that closer coordination of the activities between these units would provide tremendous benefits through: • Synergy of activities between subject areas (e.g. computation, agriculture, water resources) • Development and implementation of common goals • Synergy of management • Avoidance of duplication of effort • Highly coordinated approach to research and educational project development • Service as the primary point-of-contact in the geospatial and water resource management • More effective leveraging of resources and activities into extramural funding

Therefore, the GeoResources Institute was created at MSU in July 2002.

Units forming the Institute included: • Remote Sensing Technologies Center • Water Resources Research Institute • Computational Geospatial Technologies Center • Visualization Analysis and Imaging Laboratory (the latter two formerly a part of the Engineering Research Center)

The mission of the Institute is to develop tools that enable a better understanding of natural resources systems and their response to natural and human-induced changes, thus improving their conservation, productivity, and protection.

Institute objectives include: • Increase the fundamental understanding of Earth’s natural resources systems • Develop natural resources management capabilities (Decision Support Systems) that capitalize on this knowledge: o Protect and enhance land and water resources through applications of science-based knowledge o Enhance the productivity and profitability of agricultural and forestry systems through science and advanced technologies o Optimize land-use management practices by converging technologies and capabilities • Maximize information that can be derived and utilized from remote sensing and other geospatial technologies for socio-economic benefits • Develop an educated public
