Project Title: Cross-Disciplinary Education and Research in Remote Sensing

Abstract: The Remote Sensing Institute is a continuing successful model for interdisciplinary research and education across the MTU campus. It encompasses three colleges and includes topics ranging from instrument design to ecological applications of remote sensing imagery. The focus of this proposal is programs that will leverage our research success to recruit students and to expand both graduate and undergraduate student opportunities in remote sensing.
Specifically we aim to:
- provide fellowship and travel support to selected graduate students
- offer opportunities for undergraduates to participate in RS research projects
- expand course offerings in remote sensing
- bring prospective grad students to campus
- increase RSI visibility on and off campus
- expand the RSI web presence
- update RS equipment to current state-of-the-art.
