The Geospatial Assessment and Modelling of Urban Heat Islands in Philippine Cities (Project GUHeat) aims to assess the development of urban heat islands in rapidly urbanizing and highly urbanized cities in the Philippines and develop models for estimating land surface temperatures (LST) and predicting urban heat islands (UHIs) by relating LST with environmental factors including land use - land cover distribution. This project is funded by the Innovation Council (Philippine Council for Industry, Energy, & Emerging Technology Research & Development of DOST (DOST-PCIEERD) and is implemented by the University of the Philippines Training Center for Applied Geodesy and Photogrammetry (UP TCAGP).

The University of the Cordilleras – Research and Innovation Office (UC-RIO) in Baguio City has deployed a system powered by Geographic Information System that enables real time reporting, inter-agency data sharing, and geographic visualization of COVID-19 cases in the Cordillera Administrative Region.

COVID 19 is quickly spreading in the Philippines at an alarming rate. At this point, efforts to contain the virus depend on a contact tracing technology. The University of Cordilleras - Research and Innovation Office (UC-RIO) in Baguio City has developed a system powered by GIS that enables real-time reporting, inter-agency data sharing and geographic visualization of COVID 19 cases in Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR)

The College of Teacher Education (CTE) in collaboration with the Research and Development Center (R&DC) organized a research capacity-building seminarworkshop on November 10, 2012 at the University of the Cordilleras.

A recent directive from the Cordillera police regional top brass to make the Geographic Information System (GIS) an integral part of police operations in Baguio City had been a key factor that earned honors for a research undertaken by the University of the Cordilleras (UC) on digital crime mapping.

The commitment to strengthen law enforcement through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology has gained further momentum through the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) to expand the use of the technology to police macro units.

Collaboration, integration, standardization, regional relevance are but a few of the emerging criteria brought to Southeast Asian researchers whose outputs, it has been suggested, should be established in consideration of the homogeneity and common aspirations of the Southeast Asian (SEA) peoples.

The University of the Cordilleras (UC) Center for Lifelong Professional Education and Languages (UC-CLPEL) and the UC Graduate School will hold a day-long lecture series on Research and Publication at the UC Auditorium on November 29, 2011.

The UC Research Journal (UCRJ) can now be accessed online in the website of e-International Scientific Research Journal Consortium www.eisrjc.com

A research of the faculty members of the University of the Cordilleras qualified in the regional competition of the Search for Best Research and Publication (REPUBLICA) Awards 2009. The REPUBLICA Awards is organized by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). It is offered every two years to reward and recognize outstanding research outputs leading to significant advances in priority disciplines and contributing to national development.
