Geomatics covers the science and technology of gathering different sources of geospatial data, which after storing, interpreting, analyzing, modelling and distributing, can be turned into useful geographic information. Geomatics involves the tools and techniques used in surveying, cartography, photogrammetry, remote sensing, satellite navigation systems, geographical information systems and other earth-related disciplines.

M.S and Ph.D. positions in GISc/Remote Sensing for 2011

The Intelligent Geocomputing Laboratory in the Department of Environmental Resources Engineering is seeking qualified M.S. and Ph.D. applicants. Successful candidates should possess a strong quantitative engineering background with the desire to develop new theory and applications towards environmental monitoring and modeling. In depth GISc/Remote Sensing knowledge is not a prerequisite for admission (although preferred), however the candidates are expected to acquire skills and work in that area.

More information on the lab’s activities, frequently asked questions on MS/PhD positions and contact information can be found at:


Highly qualified applicants may receive research assistantships through various NASA grants and/or teaching assistantships through our Department, both fully covering living expenses and tuition. The positions are highly competitive therefore interested applicants are encouraged to start early the application process, including GRE and TOEFL exams. Positions may start in Spring or Fall of 2011.
