SPATIAL SCIENCES INSTITUTE: POWER OF PLACE + SPACE

We see the world differently: we view it through a spatial lens and use “where” to help address global challenges. As the hub of spatial thinking and analysis at USC, we partner with researchers, businesses, non-profits, NGOs, and other entities to analyze, model, and visualize location-based data. Our internationally-recognized faculty contribute to the rapidly-evolving body of geospatial knowledge. Through our innovative academic programs, we develop the next generation of spatial thinkers, empowering them with capabilities to solve real-world issues.
