Geotechnologies

The Group of Geotechnologies investigates methods and techniques of extraction and analysis of information on natural resources from satellite images, aerogeophysical and geochemical data, as well as integrated spatial analysis of them using geo-referenced information systems (SIG). The research developed in the Group is aimed at the development and application of quantitative and qualitative analysis techniques for processing spatialized information, such as digital processing of remote sensing images, geostatistics and specialized systems. The results of these researches are applied in the mineral and oil/gas industry, more specifically in the exploration (search for new deposits of these mineral goods), as well as in the geo-environmental analysis aimed at natural resources.
