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.
Our work has been featured in:
Archaeology
One of the primary ways we study the formation of human landscapes through time is through archaeology.
Climate & Ecology
Climate and ecology are key factors in the adaptive strategies, social history, and geography of societies.
GIS & Remote Sensing
GIS and Remote Sensing are important tools that we use to study both human and environmental landscapes.
