Geography & Spatial SciencesStrategic Plan (2008 through 2012)
used to be Geography and Regional Science
The same decades that witnessed rapid growth in geography have seen the establishment and enhancement of other spatial sciences -- fields that also have strong spatial orientations. Geographic information science (the science that considers fundamental questions associated with the development and use of geographic information systems and related technologies), spatial analysis (the science that develops formal techniques to analyze the topological, geometric, or geographic properties of data), and spatial cognition and behavior have joined regional science as interdisciplinary fields that are closely aligned with geography. A diagram appended to the end of this plan shows a schematic view of how geography and other spatial sciences relate to each other and to many other fields.

NSF
Complexity Science
Encourages work on:
Complex systems incorporating analyses of the interaction of simpler systems to explain observed complexity;
The dynamics of complex systems, for example “tipping points,” where many things change dramatically at one time, and “emergent phenomena,” such as phase transitions in which complex phenomena emerge despite being underdetermined by ambient conditioning factors.

NSF
Infrastructure
Encourage proposals for infrastructure development to our programs. This includes but is not limited to cyberinfrastructure, instrumentation, shared data bases, repositories, consortia, etc. SBE will consider both free-standing proposals for infrastructure and requests for research resources not typically available within the context of SBE research proposals.
