Remote Sensing Department
Remote sensing plays a key role in monitoring the Earth system dynamics. Hence, the remote sensingdepartmentis a hub for scientific research, collaboration, and innovation focuses on using earth observation datasetsacquiredby satellite and airborne sensors at multi temporal and spatial scalesalong with field-based measurements, laboratory experiments and sophisticated algorithms and programming codesto study the Earth’s atmospheric, terrestrial, and aquatic systems. The department's central goal is to advance the understanding of complex processes and their interactions within the Earth system using Earth observation methods. Therefore, the department provides resources and state-of-the-art facilities for students, staff, and other stakeholders to engage in remote sensing and Earth system science research.
The following are the key duties and responsibilities of the department:
- Conducting demand driven researches on natural resource management (NRM), disaster risk management, land use/land cover dynamics, land suitability, environmental impact assessment (EAI) and other disciplines by applying state-of-the-art remote sensing, photogrammetry and GPS technologies
- Developing early-warning and real-time monitoring system for crop, flood, vegetation and drought monitoring
- Providing capacity building remote sensing trainings
- Satellite image acquisition, processing, interpreting and archiving
- Gathering remote sensing data from airborne (e.g., unmanned aerial vehicle) and ground-borne platforms
- Calibrating and validating satellite retrieval and model simulations
