Center for Spatial and Temporal Analysis
of Environmental Data and Models
A proposal for the Information Sciences/Information Technology
component of the ASU Proposition 301
Mission: “The Center for Spatial and Temporal Analysis of
Environmental Data and Models brings information technology tools
to the fusion, overlay, mining, and modeling of environmental
characteristics, history, and simulations for the future. A broad group
of ASU researchers and local and regional agencies come together to
solve common geospatial and geotemporal problems. For the greater
Phoenix region to be economically competitive, it must come from a
position of strength through integrated environmental knowledge. “

Research Problems
• Web-accessible knowledge and database tools
• Demographic, economic, and political dependence
on infrastructure, natural systems, and
environmental information
• Geomarketing/location research
• Urban ecology
• Growth management
• Water supply
• Air quality
Potential research projects
• Mining and delineation of trends and inter-relationships between
variables from large data bases obtained through LTER and
EFD's atmospheric simulations efforts
• Building a common platform among environmental models
• Large spatial scale correlations between urban and natural
patterns
• High resolution depictions of natural processes and urban
responses: implications for real time monitoring of urban/natural
systems
• Location research: How can high quality environmental data
improve the business climate for the greater Phoenix area?
