 Second season of SCENOP a success!
Journal of World Anthropology About the LabThe University at Buffalo's Social Systems GIS laboratory is a research group under the direction of Professor Ezra Zubrow. The group uses GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and spatial statistics to examine the social and spatial organisation of settlements, environmental change, the cultural transformation of landscape, spatial relationships between disabilities and literacy, settlement patterns, geochemistry and cognition. In addition, we are actively involvced in simulation models, predictive modelling and computational modelling. The lab was established in response to a growing recognition of the need for integrative research methods. The lab provides a base for students and faculty from the anthropology and geography departments to participate in multi-disciplinary and multi-national research projects. The range of archaeological, anthropological, ecological and geographical problems addressed reflect the diversity of backgrounds and disciplines represented in the group, and can be seen in our current research. The GIS lab is located in Fillmore 251A, on the second floor of the Millard Fillmore Academic Center (MFAC) in the Ellicot Complex, University at Buffalo's Amherst campus. For more information, please contact the laboratory staff at (716) 645-2414 ext. 150 or the anthropology department at (716) 645-2414. If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it? mail to:
