About

Vanderbilt Institute for Spatial Research (VISR)

The Vanderbilt Institute for Spatial Research (VISR) is an advanced geospatial modeling and analysis facility. VISR partners with diverse multidisciplinary researchers and entities across Vanderbilt, VUMC, and the region. As Vanderbilt’s only advanced geospatial analysis facility, VISR enables our faculty in disciplines ranging from the social sciences, earth sciences, medicine and epidemiology, civil engineering, education, and humanities to integrate geospatial dimensions into their research programs. VISR also addresses a large and growing demand for geophysical survey (primarily Ground Penetrating Radar and Magnetometry) of archaeological sites (both historic and prehistoric) throughout middle Tennessee. Our services encompass several areas of geospatial modeling and analysis, including (but no limited to) the following:

  • Geospatial statistical analysis (cluster/hotspot analyses, geographically weighted regression)
  • Geospatial modeling (suitability analysis, viewshed, spatial network analysis, etc)
  • Geostatistical modeling (kriging and related analyses)
  • Remote sensing analysis (image classification and segmentation, Land Use Land Cover modeling, change detection, etc)
  • Geophysical survey (Ground Penetrating Radar, Magnetometry)
  • Photogrammetry
  • Cartographic consultation and production 

For these and other services, VISR can provide end-to-end support, from research design and conception (consultation and drafting of proposals) through reporting and publication.
