Technical Support
The Laboratory is using a number of intelligent processing software packages for manipulation of satellite imagery and GIS. Digitization tablets, scanners, workstations and GPS are also supporting the research projects. The sophisticated geophysical instrumentation can be also used in conjunction to the above techniques when needed. The lab is mostly involved in research dealing with the natural and cultural resources assessment and management.
