Our Mission

Protecting Louisiana through Geospatial Stewardship

GeoStewardShip is an initiative of the LSU Center for GeoInformatics (C4G) dedicated to training the next generation of geospatial leaders. We combine advanced GIS technology, environmental science, and community engagement to address Louisiana's unique coastal, environmental, and infrastructural challenges.

From real-time positioning networks to StoryMaps that tell the story of our changing coastline, we empower students, educators, and communities to become active stewards of our state's geographic heritage.
