GCIS
EVS advanced modeling and simulation tools, based on data from a wide array of sources, produce actionable environmental intelligence that enable decision makers to better understand and work in a managed environment.

Environmental data are complex and often indirectly captured. Collection, curation, and understanding of environmental data are essential to building predictive modeling capabilities and deepening the environmental understanding of diverse stakeholders. The EVS Geospatial Computing, Innovations and Sensing (GCIS) department brings together a diverse group of scientists to make sense of environmental data for our stakeholders. From understanding the ecological impacts of solar installations to using radars to understand thunderstorms, GCIS tackles diverse problems through its expertise in atmospheric measurements, passive and active sensing, software engineering, computer vision and machine learning, geospatial information systems, high-performance computing and data informatics.
