For the past 100 years, researchers have struggled with complex data that varies across space and through time. For example:
Spatial epidemiology: How do you track levels of exposure to carcinogens taking into consideration residential mobility and changing exposure levels by location
Spatial econometrics: How do house prices vary over time across different neighborhoods?
Inventory monitoring: How can you track 10,000 SKUs, 5,000 retail locations, with varying seasonal demand?
Until recently, these researchers had no comprehensive GIS software package that included spatio-temporal techniques. As a result, creating a model of temporal change was expensive, time consuming and ultimately frustrating because they could not accurately represent the underlying data structures. They could not show how individuals and phenomena changed gradually over time.
TerraSeer's family of software products was created to bridge this gap. With TerraSeer Space-Time Software you can:
- create animated maps, histograms and scatterplots -- and highlight data subsets in all 3 simultaneously
- conduct statistical analysis that explicitly handles spatial and temporal considerations
- recognize patterns in your data that you could never have observed before
- identify statistically significant clusters and patterns that take account of the underlying spatial structure of the data points
- import your GIS data easily
and efficiently and get support
for all .shp files
Our programs were developed by professional research scientists, led by such recognizable names as Geoffrey Jacquez and Pierre Goovaerts.
The assumptions and architecture of TerraSeer software have been reported in peer-reviewed research journals.
Development of TerraSeer software has been partially funded by government grants from National Cancer Institute, NIH, and NSF.
Over 1000 customers in 23 countries use TerraSeer Software.
TerraSeer software is used in laboratories at the most prestigious research institutions all over the world, including Harvard, University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University, University of Michigan, Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and dozens more.
TerraSeer offers state of the art Space-Time Software and knowledgeable GIS Software customer support.
With TerraSeer, you gain the flexibility and innovation of a small GIS software company along with a track record of an established company that's committed to continuous enhancement. When you need support, you work directly with a trained professional who holds a Ph.D. and a history of research publications as well as an in-depth knowledge of TerraSeer's code and underlying algorithms. So even your most complex, technical questions get answered fast, in language you easily understand.
