Value proposition

Connecting science and society with GIS and drones based at Auburn Unversity 🌎

We make geospatial technologies for science more accessible and understandable by fostering relationships between communities and scientists, of all ages, across the globe.

Our work focuses on geographic information systems, maps, apps, drones. We are home to Geo Explorer Labs, the largest geoscience mobile science lab in the world. We previously founded the first GeoBus in the United States while housed at UCF

We moved to Auburn University in July 15. We were founded in July 2015 in Orlando, Florida and continue to grow and thrive with partnerships. Citizen Science GIS, a 2017 Esri Special Achievement in GIS Award winner (one of four higher education awardees worldwide), is now housed at Auburn University. We are a diverse group of faculty, students, and community partners around the world committed to connecting science and society.

Citizen Science GIS has received funding from the United States National Science Foundation and University of Central Florida. Our core partners have included National Geographic, the Smithsonian Institute, Marine Geo, Esri, 15lightyears, and citizen scientists like you.
