UGA's project portfolio is quite diverse, but is known for their ecological forecasting and water resources projects, as well as its international collaborations. UGA's many science advisors are experts in the fields of water remote sensing, vegetation mapping, photogrammetry, cartography, planning, and GIS, to name a few. Because the office is housed within the University, participants can take advantage of many university resources such as computers, software, professors/science advisors, the science library and map library.
