CyberInfrastructure and Geospatial Information Laboratory (CIGI) provides a cutting-edge cyberinfrastructure-enhanced GIS facility that is established as a virtual organization. The laboratory houses several high performance computers and servers for performing computationally intensive geographic analysis and problem solving in various research, education, and outreach contexts. CIGI projects range across several application domains such as environment, public health and sustainable energy in which scientific discovery depends on large-scale and/or multi-scale geospatial problem solving. CIGI provides access to national and international cyberinfrastructure such as the TeraGrid and Open Science Grid through a leading cyberinfrastructure-based GIS solution – the GISolve Toolkit that CIGI develops, and is currently deployed as the TeraGrid GIScience Gateway.
