Remote Sensing Research Centre: helping improve environmental monitoring management

The Remote Sensing Research Centre, based at The University of Queensland, is a leading national and international research and training centre for biophysical remote sensing to understand and solve environmental management problems.

The centre provides unique services to research and government organisations to support areas such as:

• vegetation height and canopy structure
• environmental properties to map climate-impacted change
• the composition and energy dynamics of urban environments
• the composition, structure and productivity of terrestrial and marine systems.

The centre is a core part of the Joint Remote Sensing Program with the Queensland and NSW governments, as well as the University of New South Wales and University of New England, to develop scientifically and legally defendable environmental mapping and monitoring programs using satellite image data sources linked to field measurements.
