The Institute for the Application of Geospatial Technology at Cayuga Community College

The Institute for the Application of Geospatial Technology at Cayuga Community College, Inc. (IAGT) is a nonprofit organization that specializes in the application of Geographic Information Technologies (GIT). The practice of GIT combines Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and other data collection methods, including remote sensing and geographic information software. GIT users employ this cluster of techniques to acquire and analyze geographic data. The information available from the analyses is distributed in a variety of graphic representations (e.g. maps, three and four dimensional visualizations, graphics, enhanced imagery).

We work with three major groups to help them use this amazing technology:

• Government Agencies (.gov) - sponsoring conferences, researching land cover and fire management projects, providing grants, environmental quality review, and more.
• Educational Institutions (.edu) - showing teachers how to teach GIT in their classrooms, supporting college GIS programs, sponsoring internships, and more.
• The Business Community (.com) - partnering with businesses to expand the use of GIT in the community, wired building grants, consulting, and more.

As geospatial technology continues to grow, evolve, and become even more mainstream, IAGT is perfectly positioned to provide the guidance and support that will be required by people and organizations of our three main constituencies.
