The Applied Spatial Ecology and Technical Services (ASETS) research group, based in the Department of Entomology at Michigan State University, is dedicated to advancing the use of spatial science and technology in addressing pressing ecological challenges.

ASETS integrates geospatial science, ecology, and information technology to address invasive species management challenges. ASETS applies advanced data systems, spatial analysis, and collaborative frameworks to deliver science-based solutions that enhance ecological resilience and public participation. Its research and development span multiple interrelated domains that together form the foundation of national and regional invasive species programs.
