SPARC Launch

The Spatial Analysis Research Center (SPARC) is a newly formed GIScience and earth observing center within the School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning at Arizona State University. SPARC’s goals are to advance the science and technology of GIScience and earth observing and to lead the transdisciplinary application of spatial data science solutions for addressing novel and impactful research questions.

Spatial Analysis Research Center

Join the new Spatial Analysis Research Center (SPARC) for a celebratory learning experience as we engage in a full-day of presentations about emerging research from world leaders in spatial analysis, and the opportunity to network with colleagues from multiple disciplines who also utilize spatial analysis in their work.
