#  Recent Projects 

 



CGA’s recent work span applied research and production systems, and crossing many research domains, including: climate and environment, health access and outcomes, urban systems and mobility, platforms and cyberinfrastructure, GeoAI and methods, interoperability, and reproducible workflows.

Examples range from cloud-based routing and climate raster extraction systems to open-science platforms for spatial accessibility studies, to neural-network–driven mapping. Many efforts pair domain questions with scalable infrastructure and open workflows to move prototypes into real world use.
