MISSION:

Geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) refers to the collection, organization, analysis, and dissemination of information on the position and complementary attributes of physical features, man-made structures, moving objects, people, events and activities. Thus, it covers a wide range of diverse applications, ranging from environmental monitoring and emergency response to social media analytics, intelligent vehicle navigation and surveillance.

The Center for Geospatial Intelligence (CGEOINT) at George Mason university (GMU) is conducting, supporting and coordinating research, teaching, technology transfer and outreach activities in geospatial intelligence. With strong expertise in geoinformatics, ranging from remote sensing and geographic information science to digital image analysis and sensor networks, and a very strong portfolio on open-source content analysis (with an emphasis on social media analytics) CGEOINT is uniquely positioned, both academically and geographically, to become an Academic leader in the rapidly growing field of Geospatial Intelligence.
