Douglas A. Miller, Director

The Center for Environmental Informatics (CEI) was originally formed in 2000 as the Outreach Center of the former EMS Environment Institute within the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences. CEI focuses on the development of new and innovative approaches to the creation and dissemination of environmental information resources.

At the core of CEI strengths is the application of advanced geospatial technology combined with web-based approaches to the development of decision support systems focused on ecosystem management, environmental monitoring, and risk mitigation. The five full-time CEI staff members are broadly trained in the earth and environmental sciences with specific training in earth sciences, geology, soil science, agronomy, and geography. Specific skill sets in geographic information systems, cartography, databases, and computer programming provide a rich set of tools to be applied to a wide range of challenges in the application of environmental information. CEI has completed sponsored research for EPA, NASA, NOAA, USDA, PA Bureau of Topographic and Geologic Survey, and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

Special LiDAR Workshop is scheduled for May 1, 2008
