Spatial Sciences Institute

The power and importance of spatial thinking and digital geography is what the USC Spatial Sciences Institute is all about.
As front-line researchers and educators, we are dedicated to deploying the power of: people, place, and time; information as maps; environmental sustainability and human well-being; and actionable research and informed decision-making.

We collaborate with a cross-cutting array of researchers, businesses, non-profits, NGOs, and other entities from a wide range of disciplines and industries to analyze, model, and visualize location-based data. Through our innovative undergraduate programs – minors in GIS and Sustainability Science, Human Security and Geospatial Intelligence, and Spatial Studies and majors in GeoDesign and Global GeoDesign – masters programs in Geographic Information Science and Technology, Spatial Data Science, and Spatial Economics and Data Analysis, and doctoral programs in Spatial Analytics and Population, Health & Place, we develop the next generation of spatial thinkers, empowering them with capabilities to help address global challenges. Members of our internationally-recognized faculty contribute to the rapidly-evolving body of geospatial knowledge

Video Tracking Core

The USC Video Tracking Core (VTC) facility provides specialized research video services to USC and non-USC researchers. High-speed video combined with specialized lighting and software enables us to assay 3D movement, behavior patterns, gene expression and metabolite levels in free-moving animals, including Drosophila melanogaster and C. elegans, for periods ranging from <1/30 second to months. Services include: Analysis of movement and behavior patterns; Quantification of fluorescent transgenic reporter molecules, including green-fluorescence (GFP), red-fluorescence, blue-fluorescence and others; Quantification of fluorescent transgenic reporter molecules in specific tissues, including CNS, muscle, liver, heart and intestine; Small molecule testing for effects on behavior, gene expression and metabolite levels; Quantification of Drosophila life span and healthspan; Training and education.
