How do they match: Remote Sensing Scientists and Technologists

  • Apply remote sensing principles and methods to analyze data and solve problems in areas such as natural resource management, urban planning, or homeland security. May develop new sensor systems, analytical techniques, or new applications for existing systems.

  • Analyze data acquired from aircraft, satellites, or ground-based platforms, using statistical analysis software, image analysis software, or Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
  • Collect supporting data, such as climatic or field survey data, to corroborate remote sensing data analyses.
  • Design or implement strategies for collection, analysis, or display of geographic data.
  • Develop new analytical techniques or sensor systems.
  • Manage or analyze data obtained from remote sensing systems to obtain meaningful results.

  • Analyze geological or geographical data.
