Mapping the Future: Innovating Earth Insights with Remote Sensing & GIS
Welcome to the webpage of the Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Science (RSGIS) Research Group at the Department of Geography, University of the Aegean. Our newly established team focuses on harnessing remote sensing and GIS technologies to address geographic challenges through cutting-edge applications. A core aspect of our work lies in integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to develop innovative solutions for spatial analysis, environmental monitoring, and urban planning. We are committed to advancing research, fostering collaboration, and inspiring excellence in the application of AI-driven techniques to geographic information science. Join us in exploring the future of geospatial innovation.
