The
Environmental
Remote Sensing
and Image Processing
Laboratory (ERS-L)
provides facilities
and resources
for instructional
and research
in the areas
of environmental
remote sensing
and spatial data
processing using
the state-of-the-art
capabilities
for image processing,
mapping, modeling,
statistical analysis,
and visualization.
The ERS-L utilizes
both PC and UNIX
workstation computers
that include
software for
image processing
and analysis,
as well as a
wide array of
input-output
devices including
digitizers, image
scanners, and
large format
color plotters.
The ERS-L has
latest version
GIS and Remote
Sensing software
such as:
ArcGIS
Matlab
ENVI
ID
GEOMATICA
FORTRAN
MS-Office
Photoshop etc.
The ERS-L has
1 Dell server,
10 PC and Unix
workstations,
2 Laser Printers,
and one plotter,
scanner and GPS
instrument each.
Work within the
ERS-L includes
a variety of
projects aimed
at using remote
sensing technologies
to retrieve different
hydrologic parameters
(precipitation,
soil moisture,
snow cover, vegetation
cover, snow depth,
and snow water
equivalent) at
different spatial
and spatial resolutions.
Intensive collaborative
projects are
currently underway
with scientists
in the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration
(NOAA), National
weather service
(NOAA-NWS), and
the National
Environmental
Satellite Data
and Information
Service (NOAA-NESDIS).
Current research
projects are
funded and supported
by various funding
agencies such
as NOAA, NSF,
and CUNY. |
