Welcome to GeoLAB
Linking, Accessing and Benchmarking geospatial data: an open platform for the social sciences.
GeoLAB is an open platform for social scientists working with geospatial data. It brings together curated geodata resources, interactive tools for linking and analysing spatial and survey data, and case studies that support transparent, reproducible, and context-sensitive research.
Our aim is to lower barriers to working with geospatial information in the social sciences while fostering methodological rigour and interdisciplinary exchange. GeoLAB enables researchers to explore spatial contexts, combine data across scales, and gain insights into how place shapes social outcomes.
