About the study

The Earth Observation discipline teaches techniques for monitoring objects, surface classes, processes and parameters on the Earth with space borne and airborne instruments. Earth observation by satellite remote sensing provides large benefits to climate research, environmental monitoring and resource management, particularly in remote and uninhabited areas. The Earth Observation research group in Tromsø specializes in the analysis of satellite images for maritime and cryosphere applications in the High North, but also work with terrestrial applications such as forest monitoring and vegetation mapping.
