BSc ( Hons) Geology - Remote Sensing & Geo InformaticsCourses

Department Geology

Level Undergraduate

Welcome to the BSc (Hons) Geology program at Ayyappa Institute of Management Studies (AIMS), specializing in Remote Sensing & Geo-Informatics. This cutting-edge four-year degree combines traditional geological sciences with advanced technological skills, equipping you to analyze the Earth’s surface and subsurface using the latest in remote sensing and geospatial technologies.

About the Course

Why Remote Sensing & Geo-Informatics?

Remote sensing and geo-informatics are revolutionizing the field of geology. By using satellite imagery, aerial photography, and advanced GIS (Geographic Information Systems), geologists can gather comprehensive data about the Earth's surface and subsurface. This specialization provides the skills needed to interpret this data, offering new insights into geological phenomena and aiding in everything from natural resource management to environmental monitoring and disaster response.

Specialization Highlights

Advanced Remote Sensing Techniques: Learn to use satellite imagery and aerial photography to gather and interpret geological data.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS): Gain proficiency in GIS software for spatial data analysis, mapping, and visualization.
Fieldwork and Practical Training: Participate in extensive fieldwork and lab sessions to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world settings.
Environmental Applications: Study the applications of remote sensing in environmental monitoring, natural resource management, and disaster assessment.
Interdisciplinary Approach: Collaborate with experts in environmental science, computer science, and engineering to tackle complex geological challenges.
