Space Technologies and Spatial Analysis Laboratory

Space Technologies and Spatial Analysis Laboratory



In this laboratory, which is the basic research laboratory of our department, research and projects for modeling with space technologies such as GNSS and remote sensing and underwater sonar are carried out and many scientific publications are published. The hardware and software infrastructure of this laboratory, especially used by our graduate students, is tried to be renewed in accordance with current requirements.

The lab also has a library of scientific publications. You can find the list of publications here.
