Applied Geospatial Research Group

Remote sensing and GIScience encompass a transformative set of geospatial technologies that play a key role in modern environmental monitoring and modelling. We are a group of researchers based at the University of Calgary, led by Prof. Greg McDermid, whose interests revolve primarily around the application of these technologies to problems and challenges in ecology. We combine cutting-edge remote sensing products, including satellite imagery, UAVs, and LiDAR, with geospatial analytical methods to produce maps and models that allow us to detect, monitor, and manage complex ecological patterns and processes.
