- Applied geography and GIS can greatly improve scientific analyses and associated spatial data management / utilization. Centers which have developed and maintained strong expertise in applied geography / GIS have also realized program development opportunities. Program developed to perform spatial data compilation and management for other agencies has lead directly to science and research opportunities for the USGS. All centers would benefit from continuing to refine their views on how applied geography / GIS is viewed and utilized.
