CESIR is a cooperative research center between the George Mason University (GMU) and the National
Environmental Satellite, Data, & Information Service (NESDIS) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA).
CESIR will foster the transfer of geoinformatics science and technologies from GMU to NOAA to help
NESDIS with the timely delivery of required Earth observations, data, and information, knowledge,
decision supports to the stakeholders in accomplishing the missions of NOAA. GMU has been very active
in developing geospatial information science, technology, standards, and systems. The Center for Spatial
Information Science and Systems (CSISS) of GMU will be the primary department to support this
cooperative agreement.
CESIR will also help in the education of the public in the climate and environmental sciences through
efficient channeling of information and knowledge from NOAA. This will be accomplished by adopting
interoperable, standard-compliant information systems and infrastructure.

Goal
The goal of CESIR is to advance the Earth science informatics for efficiently archiving and distributing
sensor observation results, improving the information and knowledge extraction from those
observations, effectively supporting the decision making, and broadening the public use of the NOAA
NESDIS products.
