Setting instruments in place on the ice

ESOC acts as a focus for research, campus-wide, in the use of remote sensing for global geosciences studies. So far, master's and Ph.D. candidates from the departments of Anthropology, Geography, Geological Sciences, Electrical Engineering, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and the Interdepartmental Geophysics Program have carried out thesis research in ESOC, and in fiscal year 2008 ESOC began initial development of a Professional Masters Degree Program in Remote Sensing. This formal program will organize and strengthen the remote sensing curriculum at the University.

ESOC Classes

Remote sensing is not a discipline in itself, but rather a major, evolving tool applicable to studies of the earth involving the atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, and the solid earth. ESOC acts as a focus for research, campus-wide, in the use of remote sensing for global geosciences studies. So far, master's and Ph.D. candidates from the departments of Anthropology, Geography, Geological Sciences, Electrical Engineering, EPO Biology and the Interdepartmental Geophysics Program have carried out thesis research in ESOC.
