Environmental Resources Spatial Analysis Center
The Environmental Resources Spatial Analysis Center (ERSAC) was established in 1995 to develop a unified computing environment for research on spatial analysis and modeling of natural resources and the environment. Acquisition of state-ofthe-art computer, network, and software facilities has enabled researchers in eight departments and five colleges on the Twin Cities Campus to effectively use geographic information systems and related geospatial
technologies in research on spatial patterns and relationships of natural resources and the environment at landscape to regional scales. The unified approach to providing of hardware-software facilities has increasedcapability and productivity, while decreasing costs compared to the more traditional purchase and administration of facilities by individual departments.
