Baruch Institute Geographic
Information Processing Lab
The GIP
Lab, now located on the Columbia campus in Room 206 of the new Public
Health Research Center (PHRC), supports research that explores the
increasingly important roles that technology plays in monitoring,
assessing, modeling and managing our environmental resources and
associated health issues. Using the tools of Geographic
Information Processing (GIP), GIP Lab staff and students develop and
apply spatial models to study the impacts of anthropogenic and
physiographic influences to environmental resources. These GIP
technologies include Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing
and digital image processing, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), and
environmetrics.
Research
studies are multidisciplinary and may include researchers and students
from Biology, Economics, Geology, Environmental Health Sciences,
Geography, Marine Science, Exercise Science, Epidemiology, and
Statistics.
