Our mission is to facilitate the practical use of Earth systems science and technology, and help meet the growing demand for a spatially literate workforce. This is made possible through seeds sown by NASA, USDA and NOAA, and the science and education networks provided by Land Grant (Cooperative Extension), Space Grant, Sea Grant and other local partners.

In each participating state, a Geospatial Extension Specialist (GES) acts
as a knowledge broker, or the two-way conduit between research, applications
development and practice. We build on existing Earth science capabilities,
which include Earth observations from space, modeling and systems engineering,
geographic information systems (GIS), the global positioning system (GPS)
and spatial decision support systems (SDSS).
