Are you a planetary science student or researcher? Find out how you can use SPIF resources for your research.

We offer assistance with finding and obtaining image data, processing and analysis, and finding collaborators for your project. We also develop and run workshops for using image analysis tools.

Future Workshops

We are offering our 1-day workshop, updated for ArcGIS^® Pro, online on Jan 28, 2025. Click here to see more information, registration instructions, and deadlines.

We will also be offering our 1-day workshop in late spring, both online and in-person at Cornell. Travel grants will be available.

These workshops are part of the Planetary Data Training Workshop program funded through NASA's Topical Workshops, Symposia, and Conferences (TWSC). You can contact us at spif@cornell.edu to be added to our email list and receive announcements of upcoming workshops.

Past Workshops

The new version of our workshop, updated for ArcGIS^® Pro, has been taught at GSA Connects 2023 & 2024, as well as at Cornell and online in January and May 2024. Prior to that, we taught a hybrid version in ArcGIS^® Desktop and Pro at GSA Connects 2021 and 2022, locally at Cornell in 2023, and virtually in conjunction with LPSC in 2023.

We are currently a member institution of the Planetary Data Training Workshops program, which offers a variety of workshops in ArcGIS^®, ISIS3, JMARS, stero photogrammetry, and data management. If you would like to be added to an email list to receive announcements of upcoming workshops, please email us at spif@cornell.edu

We have taught our workshop on ArcGIS Desktop (v10.4-8), Introduction to Image Analysis with ArcGIS^®, at LPSC, GSA, OPvCon, and locally at Cornell from 2018 to 2020. Since support for ArcGIS^® Desktop has now ended and everyone should be using Pro, we have fully retired this version of our workshop.

Planetary science students and researchers all have access to SPIF's extensive collection of planetary image data and database indexes that make finding the necessary data from the SPIF collection a simple task.
