Joseph Canizaro and James Livingston Center for Environmental Informatics is a new wing of the university focused on the science of information applied to environmental science. It claims a long standing collaborative relationship with the Naval Research Laboratory.
The project’s principal investigator and UNO computer science professor and chair Mahdi Abdelguerfi said: "UNO researchers will build a big geospatial (GIS) data cloud for the navy.
"As a result, the navy will be able to reduce its costs for future system development and ultimately decrease its time and manpower in planning and executing missions."
Geospatial data is a major contributor to huge stockpile intelligence being gathered globally.
