We are Laboratory of Geophysical- Satellite Remote Sensing and Archaeoenvironment, Institute for Mediterranean Studies, Foundation for Research and Technology Hellas (IMS/FORTH), Greece.IMS/FORTH is located at Rethimno, Crete, Greece.
The Lab is active in the field of Geoinformatics, covering a wide range of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Satellite Remote Sensing, Geophysical Surveys, Photogrammetry 3D visualization, Landscape modeling, Geomorphology, and citizen science. Emphasis is placed on both the natural and cultural environment. The Laboratory conducts basic and applied research in the above research fields through International, European and National research programs. At the same time, it has developed a training and education program for researchers of geophysical, satellite remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems applications in archeology and culture, while at the same time is conducting studies on the anthropogenic effects on the natural environment over time.
Equipped with the most modern equipment for processing data and tools for spatial analysis and models through Geographic Information Systems and satellite image processing, the Laboratory offers a complete package of services related to mapping of natural/cultural resources, developing Web GIS applications,developing web geographic databases, imaging surface, subsoil and shallow submarine targets etc. The Laboratory has entered into numerous collaborations with university and research institutions from Greece and abroad beyond the borders of the Mediterranean. The continuous activities of the Laboratory are disseminated through scientific publications, international conferences and workshops
We are interested in joining a consortium and providing our extended know-how.
