CGS Topics

Center for Geospatial Solutions Data Topics Hub The Center for Geospatial Solutions (CGS) at the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy offers inclusive access to powerful tools and technologies that can help people to extract more and better insights from data. We partner with diverse organizations and individuals that seek equitable solutions to climate change, habitat loss, water scarcity, and other challenges that threaten the quality of life for all people. Geospatial technology enables users to combine and analyze data sets to understand complex interactions and decide where and how to act. This hub is a curated collection that includes many geospatial datasets, maps, and applications that are freely available all in one location. Please let us know if you have others to share that aren’t included here by scrolling to the end of this page and adding through the survey.
