The Center for Advanced Land Management Information Technologies is recognized as a center-of-excellence for education and research focused on 1)Remote Sensing, 2)Geographic Information Systems and 3) Global Positioning Systems.
The Conservation and Survey Division, the natural resource survey component of the School of Natural Resources, is a unique, multi-disciplinary research, service and data-collection organization established by state statute in 1921. The Division's mission is to investigate and record information about Nebraska's geologic history, its rock and mineral resources, the quantity and quality of its water resources, land cover and other aspects of its geography, as well as the nature, distribution and uses of its soils.
The mission of the High Plains Regional Climate Center is to increase the use and availability of climate data in the High Plains region.
HPRCC personnel work closely with scientists from other regional and federal climate centers on climate services and programs and provide a regional structure for climate applications. The long-term objectives of the HPRCC are to carry out applied climate studies, develop improved climate information products, and provide climate services in the High Plains region.
The Great Plains Regional Center for Global Environmental Change (GPRC) is devoted to interdisciplinary research that develops quantitative information on the role of key ecosystems as sources and sinks of carbon dioxide (CO2). Through understanding gained by such research, the GPRC will provide scientific information required for accurate prediction of future CO2 concentrations and the climate.
The National Drought Mitigation Center helps people and institutions develop and implement measures to reduce societal vulnerability to drought, stressing preparedness and risk management rather than crisis management.
The mission of the Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit Program is to 1)Train graduate students for professional careers in natural resource research and management, 2)Conduct research that will create new information useful for management of natural resources; and 3)Provide technical assistance to cooperators.
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln Water Center implements and facilitates water and water-related research, extension, teaching and public outreach programming within the University of Nebraska system as a part of NU's Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources and the School of Natural Resources.
