Research
Research within the Laboratory of Geo-Information Science and Remote Sensing (GRS) has been fed from a steadily growth of the geo-information market. Although this market initially was driven by separately evolving strategies in separate segments, nowadays geo-information science has become a multidisciplinary and collaborative scientific environment.
