Our Home for Remote Sensing Applications End User and Researcher Connections The Geo-spatial Laboratory within the Center for People & The Environment is where farmers and other end users most directly connect with practitioners of remote sensing research. We have a strong user base of around 750 end users ranging from farmers, ranchers, researchers, and individuals from various federal, state government, and public agencies. Our efforts at the lab are directed towards training our end users and other interested citizens in the use of remotely sensed data, to determining and meeting their needs for imagery during the growing season, and assisting them with technical and knowledge support to help them move towards agricultural and environmental sustainability. Skilled Personnel
Located on 3rd Floor of Clifford Hall on the UND campus, the primary task in the lab is to perform geo-spatial data processing and analysis. The lab employs many highly-skilled faculty, staff, and students, currently including two Geo-spatial Analysts, a Scientific Visualization Specialist, an Environmental Information Specialist, a Pilot/Airborne Data Specialist, a Water Resource Specialist, and ten Student Remote Sensing/GIS Technicians. Student Synergies
Through their support of operations in the Geospatial Laboratory students not only develop valuable technical skills, they also gain first-hand experience practicing sustainability principles in the context of real-world applications. Further, students bring their own enthusiasm and fresh perspectives, leading to synergistic advances in capabilities.Student Technicians
Out of the 10 students currently supporting the Geo-spatial Laboratory, eight are graduate students enrolled in the ESSP program while two are undergraduate students from UND's Geography Department. From time to time we also employ undergraduate and graduate students from other departments such as Space Studies, Geology, Computer Science, and Engineering.
