NRCS National Geospatial Development Center

WELCOME

The National Geospatial Development Center (NGDC) supports the natural resource business needs of the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service through the innovative use of GIS and other technology tools. We are responsible for the use, application, and integration of geo-technology tools to support and expand the efficient delivery of NRCS programs, with an emphasis on resource inventory and mapping activities. The center works closely with NRCS staff at field, state, and national offices, other federal agencies, university researchers, and the private sector to achieve these goals.

The NGDC was established in 2004 by congressional earmark as a collaboration of the NRCS and West Virginia University (WVU). We are located on the WVU campus in downtown Morgantown. Our personnel include NRCS and WVU staff, contractors, and WVU undergraduate and graduate students.
