Department of Earth Observation Science (EOS)
The mission of the department of Earth Observation Science (EOS) is to gain and disseminate scientific knowledge in earth observation. This knowledge is applied in development of tools to help good governance and wise and sustainable use of natural resources in developing countries and emerging economies.
The department of Earth Observation Science deals with earth observation technology for problem solving. Problem solving means primarily identification of solutions for large-volume producers of geo-information and identification of solutions for application domains.
