Decision Support and Informatics (DSI)

The Decision Support and Informatics (DSI) Lab aims to transform the vast quantity of global data into knowledge through research, analysis, and visualization. The expert group in the DSI lab has devised a data architecture, delivery systems and geospatial analysis platform that supports the academics, researchers and development workers worldwide. Based on publicly available data, the DSI lab aims to develop multiple online platforms that allow users to map and compare social/environmental indicators, verify hypothesis and reveal spatial patterns, predict future trends, and ultimately analyze the global risk for vulnerability detection.
