RCC GIS
Welcome to the University of Chicago’s Research Computing Center (RCC) for Geographic Information Science (GIS). Here at UChicago, we are at the forefront of integrating Big Data, AI, and GIScience. Our commitment spans interdisciplinary research in geospatial big data analytics, spatial computing, geospatial AI (GeoAI), and cyberGIS, aimed at advancing data- and computing-intensive GIScience.
RCC-GIS engages in interdisciplinary research and education with UChicago users who want to incorporate GIS methods and software. Spatial analysis research tools benefit any discipline using location-based data. RCC-GIS offers many services to the UChicago community, such as: cartography, data mining and transformation, spatial statistics, GIS desktop software, and high-performance computing solutions.
RCC-GIS also offers complimentary workshops and bootcamp courses on cutting-edge GIS methods and software. These courses allow UChicago researchers to independently overcome challenges associated with location-based data.
