Trent Lott
Geospatial Visualization and Research Center
Jackson State University, is a Research
Laboratory specializing in virtual reality
and real-time Geospatial Research and
interactive computer graphics and provides
support to scientific research with latest
developments in Geographic Information
Science (GIS), Remote Sensing and
Visualization . This Research Center bonds
existing capabilities and expertise in the
areas of Geographic Information Systems
(GIS), Remote Sensing (RS) and Scientific
Visualization (Sci-Fi). This centralization
of technology, data, people, and
institutional linkages enables the
discovery, evaluation, and application of
geospatial and visual data for adding value
to research across various areas and
disciplines. The goal of the TLGVRC is to
provide a consistent and reliable means to
produce and share geospatial and visualized
data among all users, which would lead to
enhanced management and use of data as well
as expanded research results. The key
objectives are: to improve planning,
analysis, and decision-making through
commonly available geospatial and visualized
data applications; to ensure that end users
are able to acquire reliable data sets and
detailed visualizations; to increase the
number of qualified professionals in GIS,
RS, Scientific Visualization, and related
fields.
CENTER INFRASTRUCTURE
Hardware: Substantial Microsoft Windows,
UNIX, and LINUX based servers and personal
computing workstations, Reconfigurable
Advanced Visualization Equipment (RAVE),
Access Grid, Virtual Network Computing,
scanners, digitizers, high resolution
printers and large format plotters., LINUX

packages. Microsoft Office and Corel Office
product suites.
CENTER WORK EXPERIENCES
High Performance Visualization Center
Initiative (HPVCI): This initiative includes
Jackson State University (JSU) and its
academic partners, the University of
Southern Mississippi – Center for Higher
Learning (USM-CHL), Mississippi State
University (MSU), along with the Commander,
Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command (CNMOC).
In short, HPVCI operates as a “center
without walls”. It is extremely
collaborative in nature and creates great
opportunities for expertise and resources
sharing. The goals of HPVCI are to develop a
United States Department of Defense (DoD)
visualization infrastructure that will:
establish comparable capabilities in
visualization at each partner institution;
enable research scientists to use
visualization to conduct remote access
Research and Development (R&D) in support of
DoD; establish a distributive visualization
network between performing institutions and
MSRC’s; and enhance performer’s independent
or collaborative submission of R&D proposals
to future sponsors and R&D programs.
Environmental Risk Assessment Integrative
System Approach (ERAISA) with Geographic
Information Systems/Remote Sensing
Initiative, 2001-2005: A collaborative and
working relationship between Jackson State
University and the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National
Environmental Satellite Data and Information
Service (NESDIS).
