Geospatial Engineering

Geospatial engineering research combines geospatial data acquisition, management and analysis to facilitate decision making.

Examples include:

modelling our environment spatially to simulate and predict the effects of climate change
using satellite imagery to track landscape change in remote areas
use of hyperspectral laser scanning to estimate forest health
integrating real-time data into real-time modelling

See more details about what we do on our research site, our blog, and our Open Source Geo Lab site.
