As part of the geology curriculum, the students must enroll in two undergraduate research courses (Geol 4049 and Geol 4055). Such research in our laboratory includes image processing and analysis of airborne or spaceborne data or data analysis using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The students in these courses, among other tasks, must submit a written report. Below are listed all the reports of the projects conducted in the GERS Lab along the years.
