In the GIS and Remote Sensing Laboratory, we explore the planet's scientific processes and physical structures, and study our impact on the world.
The specialist equipment enables us to collect data from most types of photography, imagery or documentary sources using aerial and satellite remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS). Drone data is also used to evaluate glaciers, coastal flooding and land use change.
Students use the lab on courses including BSc (Hons) Geography, MSc Coastal and Marine Resource Management. and MSc Geographical Information Systems.
