A Focus On GIS Technology

GIS technology enables us to use and visualize data in innovative ways. TU's Center for GIS (CGIS) works to make GIS technology accessible and relevant to clients throughout the region. The team takes great pride in applying best practices and innovative strategies to data discovery, integration, analysis, and dissemination to help solve complex problems and empower others to garner insights through a spatial lens. CGIS works closely with MSGIC, MD DoIT, and MD GIO to support GIS activities of state agencies, including professional development and training services.
