About CASEL
Our research
Founded in 2015, CASEL builds upon 20+ years of groundbreaking research that has made its predecessor—the Anthropological Center of Training and Research on Global Environmental Change (ACT)—an international reference for developing and teaching methods, linking in-depth local-scale field research (ethnographic, social survey, ecological) with geospatial analysis of regional-scale landscape change.
Our collaborators
Under the auspices of the Department of Geography and Department of Anthropology in the Indiana University College of Arts and Sciences, CASEL provides a collaborative research and training environment for faculty, visiting scholars, and graduate and undergraduate students.
Our laboratory
Our laboratory has 15 workstations used for formal university classes in GIS, remote sensing, human-environment interaction, and archeology, as well as for more individualized training.
