Finished! Looks like this project is out of data at the moment!
The Team
The Marine Remote Sensing Group (MRSG) (https://mrsg.aegean.gr/) in the University of the Aegean conducting research for the exploration, analysis, and visualization of the satellite and UAV data in the coastal environment. We combine state of the art algorithms and in situ measurements to develop new methods, technologies, and products for the visual representation of marine geospatial information. The group has gain expertise in several disciplines of marine remote sensing including oil spill detection, oceanic phenomena identification, seagrass mapping, coastal bathymetry, and coastline detection.
Our team consists of various members (Professors, Post-doc, Ph.D. students, Researchers) specialized in different disciplines in the fields of remote sensing, geoinformatics, cartography, UAV. We have worked and collaborated on various research projects. More info about the projects can be found here https://mrsg.aegean.gr/.
The University of the Aegean (UAegean) was founded in 1984 aiming to introduce new approaches in higher education in Greece and worldwide and to promote regional development. Situated in 6 picturesque islands in the Aegean Archipelago, the UAegean offers a unique natural, cultural and human environment for modern studies in the ancient cradle of knowledge.
Our team members are:
