LESAM - Landscape-based Environmental System Analysis & Modeling

A collaborative interdisciplinary research lab linking MCEER, NCGIA and Center for Geohazard Studies at the University at Buffalo.


Please note that this picture was taken in Buffalo, NY on January 7 2008 during an extreme event: local temperature 62*F or 17*C.

Our Mission:
 
The development and
implementation of

integrated, user-friendly
analysis and modeling
techniques

using

GIScience, Remote Sensing,
Environmental Modeling
, and
readily available data sets


to support

rapid, practical and effective
decision-making in managing
natural resources and
extreme events
