The Redlands Institute

The Redlands Institute is an applied research enterprise within the University of Redlands. Our research focuses on enhancing the quality of decision making by applying geospatial science and technology.

We explore and innovate at the intersection of the Geospatial and Information Sciences. Our research enables us to understand the spatial dimensions of critical decision processes. Spatial reasoning involves visualizing and interpreting patterns of location, distance, relationship, movement and change through space and time. Spatial reasoning is a critical skill for solving problems with complex factors embedded in highly interdependent systems that cross multiple spatial and temporal scales.

Founded in 2000, the Redlands Institute has expanded to focus on the broader application of geospatial science methods and technologies for research, community service, decision support and problem-solving in many disciplines. Today, the Redlands Institute serves as a University-wide research and development resource. Our mission is to enhance faculty research, to improve the educational experience, and to explore practical solutions to local, regional and global issues.
