Project 003 Description: This group of faculty has a large number of ongoing planetary geology and remote sensing projects, using a range of techniques. Students participation may include collection and analysis of orbital data from Mars; orbital data from the Moon; terrestrial remote sensing data collected on the International Space Station; and/or data collected through unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV, or drone) surveys of regional- and local-scale geological and ecological environments near Flagstaff and in the desert southwest. Students will gain technical skills that will prepare them well for either advanced degrees or employment in the rapidly growing commercial remote sensing industry.
