Geomatic Lab

The Geomatics Unit is a resource that provides an infrastructure dedicated to solutions based on new technologies. The Lab has a complete framework consisting of a set of hardware, software, and databases.

We cover a wide range of needs such as:

  • Modelling
  • Development of specific maps using remote sensing techniques, GPS and conventional documentary sources
  • Automation of data collection
  • Application of simulation models to different types of change scenarios.
