Merchant focused his research and teachings on remote sensing and geographic information systems in In 1977, he was given the John Wesley Powell Award from the United States Geological Survey. In 1999, the Nebraska GIS/LIS Association honored him This course mainly reviews different uses of GIS and Remote sensing in the mining and geology industry. The instructor led trainings are delivered using a blended learning approach and comprises of presentations, guided sessions of practical exercise Credit: Christelle Wauthier Remote-sensing technologies like InSAR are important because that could help the people of Hawaii as well as other scientists at the U.S. Geological Society Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. Having a better understanding of Senate Bill 5088 clears the way for the agency to develop maps using advanced remote sensing technology known as LiDAR that DNR's Division of Geology and Earth Resources now has two geologists focused on mapping and three on geologic hazards, he Researchers combine remote-sensing data—including temperature and rainfall aggregate data from different satellite missions," Wimberly explained.

Participants in the lab include experts in remote sensing, computer vision, geospatial intelligence and analysis, computer science, engineering, and geology. Property insurance professionals interested in participating in the Remote Sensing Lab can contact Remote sensing images are used for mineral exploration in two applications: (1) map geology and the faults and fractures that localize ore deposits; (2) recognize hydrothermally altered rocks by their spectral signatures. The history of remote sensing Thomas Oommen, assistant professor in the Department of Geological and Mining Engineering and Sciences, is using remote sensing in a new way, to assess the damage quickly and more accurately. His tool: crowdsourcing, or what he calls the “power of the .
