What does ISciences do?
We call ourselves ISciences because we use imaging and information sciences to study the Earth. We develop innovative software to improve public access to the rich archives of data about Earth. We study the implications of environmental stress on human security. We develop databases and tools to monitor sustainable use of Earth resources using spatial data like remote sensing. Our projects have included measuring the productivity of cultivated land in China, mapping global patterns of energy use with nighttime illumination, examining the implications of changes in the Russian boreal forest, and monitoring forest fires in Indonesia.

We are experts in:

Remote Sensing * Spectral phenomenology * Systems analysis * Algorithm development * Environmental applications Environmental Science * Global systems and environmental change * Early indications and warnings of stress * Integrated assessment methods Information Systems * Geographic information systems (GIS) * Scientific and statistical databases (SSDB) * Integrated software information products

What can ISciences do for you?
ISciences delivers quality consulting services in GIS and remote sensing, and develops software for geostatistical analysis of global environmental issues. Here’s what ISciences can do for you:

Consulting
* Evaluate the implications of environmental stress and natural disaster on human security.
* Interpret imaging phenomenon using material optical properties data and modeling.
* Identify populations vulnerable to natural hazards using geospatial modeling.
* Examine the implications of water shortage on trade, political stability, foreign investment, and humanitarian issues.
* Predict agricultural productivity and food security using selected geospatial indicators.

Software Development
* Create advanced analytical software for mining and manipulating geographical statistics.
* Supply publishing software to Geographic Information Providers for distribution of proprietary maps and datasets.
* Develop private-branded software solutions for Geographic Information Providers.
