Laboratory of Geographic Information Systems LASIG
Introduction
Geographical information plays an important role in the analysis of the structuring processes of the territory and of the landscape. It is strategic and can be valuated in a wide range of applications from land survey to molecular ecology. Large scale systems such as environment, cities or transportation systems depend on a variety of elements and factors and cannot be regarded without having recourse to geographical information. The goal is thus to model and analyze the geographical space, in which these systems reside with representation and digital tools.
Environmental monitoring and modelling
Together with the laboratories of Topometry (TOPO), Distributed Intelligent Systems and Algorithms (DISAL) and Environmental Remote Sensing (LTE), LASIG is involved in the Environmental Monitoring and modelling specialisation.
