Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering- Geosensing

Faculty in Geosensing in our Department lead the nation in geospatial engineering and technologies using state-of-the-art sensors. They are experts in Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) and other remote sensing technologies in addition to development of algorithms to extract critical information about the earth's surface properties. They have discovered missing civilizations, characterized three-dimensional changes in surface properties, and quantified terrestrial water dynamics.
