that addresses Columbia University’s “Fourth
Purpose”—the application of scientific data (especially
spatial data), rigorous knowledge, and research for
societal impact and the public good. With more than 40
scientific and technical staff based at Columbia’s
Lamont campus in Palisades NY, CIESIN works at the
intersection of the natural, social, health, and data
sciences to advance research and applications focused on
human-environment interactions and to provide unique
geospatial science and technology capabilities for
research, education, and decision making. CIESIN has a
strong portfolio of contracts, grants, and other
sponsored projects including the operation of the NASA
Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC).
Many CIESIN staff have adjunct appointments at Columbia
and are active in local, national, and international
organizations dealing with data sharing and stewardship,
climate change, sustainable development, disaster
management, and other topics. CIESIN has three main
divisions: Science Applications, Geospatial
Applications, and Information Technology.</span></p>
