Remote Sensing & Geotechniques Teaching & Research Lab (HM 125)


The Remote Sensing and Geotechniques Teaching and Research Lab doubles as a lecture and lab facility for all the geotechniques courses, as well as upper division geography courses. Students working on funded projects or in their senior capstone course use this room for their research since it provides a quiet atmosphere in which to work. This lab contains computer/LCD capabilities for instruction, including the software used in the Devon Spatial Graphics and Analysis Laboratory.

Specific software includes: 2007 Microsoft Suite, ESRI ArcGIS 9.2, and RSI ENVI 4.3. The lab is also equipped with one large format digitizer, one large format light table and one large format paper cutter.
