One month after announcing the formation of the Geospatial and Natural Resources Institute (GNRI), Mississippi State University (MSU) today unveiled a list of major cooperative research projects now underway at the new institute.

MSU formed the GNRI by merging the resources and staffs of its Remote Sensing Technologies Center (RSTC), Water Resources Research Institute (WRRI), Visualization Analysis and Imaging Laboratory (VAIL), and the Computational Geospatial Technologies Center (CGTC). The newly formed institute will enhance MSU’s ability to deliver geospatial solutions that blend the high performance computing capabilities of the CGTC and VAIL with the natural resources expertise of RSTC and WRRI.
