Our Mission:

The Spatial Analysis, Interpretation, and Exploration (SAIE) lab at Washington University in St. Louis is devoted to understanding how human societies shape their natural and social landscapes through time. We use Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing (RS), and a variety of related digital methods to map, analyze, reconstruct, interpret, and explore how environmental and institutional changes condition and affect history and societies around the world.
