“At CEOSR, we support the mission of science at Mason as a working group on space, earth systems, and geoinformation sciences. Our team includes faculty, research scientists, and visiting researchers who are focused on interdisciplinary projects involving earth observing, geospatial information systems, and space weather.”
Peggy Agouris, PhD, director of the Center for Earth Observing and Space Research
The Center for Earth Observing and Space Research (CEOSR) at George Mason University focuses on research that enhances our understanding of the earth and the space that envelops it. CEOSR scientists perform basic and applied research using satellite platforms and sensors, earth systems, information technologies, and innovative computational algorithms.
The Center’s cutting-edge research uses satellite technology, including data acquisition and processing, information extraction and analysis, and numerical modeling for a variety of applications such as natural hazards and risk assessment, atmospheric pollution, hurricane tracking, and geospatial intelligence. CEOSR's goal is to develop pioneering scientific methodologies that advance science through the creative combination of earth observing, space research, geoinformatics, and numerical modeling.
As the largest research center at Mason, CEOSR has more than 60 affiliated scientists and more than 60 graduate students. The Center’s strong ties with government agencies include partnerships with NASA, Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), and National Science Foundation (NSF) on these and other research projects :
