The vision
of Geo-TASK is to provide NSDL stewardship of educational content and
services related to geographic tools and applications for sustainable
development throughout our society. We seek to make NSDL the gateway
of choice for global networking on STEM Education in arenas of GIS,
GPS, RS, location-based services and spatial data infrastructure. We
propose to develop and serve a targeted community of committed NSDL
users and contributors by creating pathways toward those resources through
the Geo-TASK partnership of public, private, and academic institutions.
The content areas will reflect and inform the global discourse on sustainable
development according to the five organizing themes of WEHAB, with special
emphasis on the cross-cutting topic of Health.
