The remote sensing focus within our group includes ground-, aerial-, and satallite-based imaging systems, which are used to establish precision topogaphic measurements using photogrammety and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). In addition to the use of visible imagery fo geomorphological studies and planetary analog research, our group utlizies ground-based Forward Looking Infrared Imager (FLIR) data and near-Infrared satellite imagery to quanitfy the thermodynamics of active volcanic processes.
