The Space, Geospatial and Earth Observation department develops applications that turn satellite, geospatial and in-situ information into usable insight. Its focus is on decision-making, monitoring, planning, coordination and operational awareness in real settings.
Research and technical scope
- Earth Observation and geospatial analytics combining satellite-derived information with terrestrial measurements, sensor data and contextual knowledge.
- Integration of satellite and spatial data into digital platforms, dashboards and decision-support systems.
- Applications dependent on positioning, navigation, timing and location-aware services.
- Spatial digital twins, 3D visualisation, map-based interfaces and immersive environments.
Application areas
Work supports environmental and agricultural monitoring, infrastructure analysis, resilience, spatial planning and advanced visualisation. Human-centred interfaces help users interpret complex spatial and temporal information and connect it to the decisions they need to make.
How we work
The department contributes through applied research, technical development, prototyping, data integration, visualisation and collaborative pilots. Cooperation with other units connects space-enabled capabilities with AI, secure digital systems and sector-specific requirements. The emphasis is on reliable integration, applicability and meaningful operational insight.
