Remote Sensing Laboratory A GIS and Remote Sensing Laboratory as a central facility was established under the Landscape Ecology Division of SACON during the financial year 2016-2017. Geographic Information System coupled with remote sensing data application is one of the most important tools in the modern day ecological and other field based studies. It provides new capabilities for analysing the space\/time distribution of ecological phenomena. PURPOSE &amp; CAPACITY The multi-disciplinary nature of the projects handled by the Centre necessitates the support of spatial tools and technicians who can handle the requirements of several conservation and management oriented research projects being taken up. The Laboratory strengthens the use of spatial tools and technical expertise for conservation and management-oriented research. Main Objective The main objective of setting up the Laboratory is to enhance the capacity and capability of the researchers, students and other user groups of SACON to facilitate better interpretation of the data. It also provides an opportunity for developing and sharing spatial data through a data base since voluminous spatial and non-spatial information is being collected in various projects. The utility of such tool will provide better appreciation of the research outputs such as reports and publications. Opportunities &amp; Academic Activities 01. Research Support Supports conservation and management-oriented research projects through spatial tools and technical expertise. 02. Spatial Data Provides opportunities for developing and sharing spatial data through a dedicated database. 03. Training Programmes Provides training programmes and similar academic activities for users and other interested groups. 04. Research Interpretation Helps users achieve better interpretation and appreciation of research outputs, reports and publications. Laboratory Infrastructure The Laboratory is equipped with high-end hardware such as workstation, server, printer and software both proprietary and open source. Workstation Server Printer Proprietary Software Open Source Software Spatial Data Repository On the data front, the Laboratory has a good repository of Survey of India Toposheets, and a number of raster (satellite images) and vector data (shape file and thematic layers) of various bio-geographic regions of the country. Survey of India Toposheets Satellite Images Raster Data Vector Data Shapefiles Thematic Layers GIS &amp; Remote Sensing for Ecological Research The Laboratory provides an integrated platform for spatial analysis, research support, data management, training and improved interpretation of ecological research outputs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1482","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wii-saconrp.in\/beta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1482","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wii-saconrp.in\/beta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wii-saconrp.in\/beta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wii-saconrp.in\/beta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wii-saconrp.in\/beta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1482"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/wii-saconrp.in\/beta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1482\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15381,"href":"https:\/\/wii-saconrp.in\/beta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1482\/revisions\/15381"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wii-saconrp.in\/beta\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
