The Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) at Columbia University is expanding their role in response to a greater interest in interdisciplinary analysis and problem solving. There are four courses being taught by CIESIN researchers in four different schools, with GIS as an integral part of this coursework.

The courses include Environmental Conflict and Resolution Strategies in the School of International and Public Affairs; GIS for Public Health in the School of Public Health; GIS for Resource, Environmental and Infrastructure Management in the Department of Earth and Environmental Engineering; and Advances in Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Biology in the School of Engineering and Applied Science.
