Laboratory of GIS and Remote Sensing 

The GIS and RS laboratory is equipped with a complete software suite for processing and analysis of vector and raster data. The laboratory offers consultations on processing spatial and remote sensing data and finding solutions to GIS and Remote Sensing tasks within available commercial and open-source software. For fieldwork we offer the possibility of renting precision GNSS instruments, FieldMap kits and a portable spectrometer.
