RESEARCH ACTIVITIES

The research of Applied Geomatics Department will be focused 5 topics as below:

1- Applying Information Technology in GIS and Remote Sensing.

2- Utilizing GIS and RS techniques for fundamental and applied research in:

+ Land use/land cover change analysis;

+ Natural resources and environmental monitoring;

+ Natural disasters (Flooding, Drought, Landslide);

+ Urban - Rural administration and planning/management;

+ Managing and planning tourism;

+ Management of Coastal areas;

+ Impacts, adaptations, mitigations and vulnerabilities

+ Climate change

3- Research and applications in GPS, surveying and mapping;

4- Applying SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tools) Model to monitor the watershed area;

5- Education and training on GIS and RS.
