Research theme
Research is carried out by a group led by one of ITC's professors. Each group typically comprises several expert staff members and a number of graduate students.
Major projects
Projects executed by the department.
Earth observation sites
ITC maintains a number of earth observation sites to support education and research.
GEONETCast
The GEONETCast Toolbox, developed as a plug-in as of the ILWIS version 3.7 and higher, is offering a set of utilities that facilitate easy import of various satellite and environmental data / products that are disseminated via GEONETCast, into a common GIS environment.
