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:
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.
