IowaView is one of state-based consortium, led by GeoTREE Center and the University of Northern Iowa, in building a nationwide network of state and local users to fulfill the goals of AmericaView.

The main goal is to establish an Iowa View at the University of Northern Iowa, which will build partnerships and infrastructure in Iowa to facilitate the availability, timely distribution, and utilization of remote sensing data to the community in Iowa. In addition, it also demonstrates and documents the benefits of remote sensing education, research, and outreach activities to local decision-makers. The detailed objectives are explained below.

1. Develop the IowaView Consortium to advance the remote sensing data and technology in Iowa.
    

2. Develop remote sensing education and training programs that are tailored to the needs of local and state government agencies and private sectors.
    

3. Promote and support collaborative remote sensing application research effort and develop techniques and tools for local and state government agencies.
    

4. Transfer remote sensing data and technology to educational institutions at all levels, local and state agencies, and the private sector in Iowa.
    

5. Establish a synergistic relationship with other AmericaView states.

Benefit to State User Community

 IowaView will provide several benefits to the state user communities that are described below.

1. Provide a geospatial educational opportunities to the user through workshops and training programs.

2. Conduct geospatial research with state users for the development of new tools and techniques.

3. Establish an outreach program which will provide the state users with real time satellite data and other geospatial data.
