You have entered the website of the Water and Environmental Research Institute of the Western Pacific (WERI) at the University of Guam. We are currently six faculty and five staff and our mission is to seek solutions through research, teaching and outreach programs, to issues and problems associated with the location, production, distribution and management of freshwater resources in Guam, the CNMI and the FSM.
Geospatial technologies such as geographical information systems (GIS) and remote sensing can be applied to solve water resources and environmental issues effectively. GIS and related technologies are an efficient tool for watershed management, water distribution, environmental modeling and analysis, modeling and analysis of water quality and quantity, land cover change detection, natural resources management, climate change, hydrological modeling, soil erosion modeling, applications of LiDAR and hyperspectral/high resolution satellite data, etc.
For further information on the GIS projects currently underway, please contact Dr. Yuming Wen at ywen(weri)uguam.uog.edu?subject=GIS Program - WeriGuam.org or +1 671 735-2687
