The Geological and Environmental Remote Sensing Laboratory (GERS Lab) was founded in January 2002 as part of the Department of Geology in the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez. Our mission is to promote and facilitate the education and research of the Earth System Science using remote sensing and GIS. Current research is mainly focused on environmental monitoring with biogeo-optical properties and digital images. We are also interested in developing Geographic Information Systems. Our vision is to continue been a prestigious laboratory in remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems of the Caribbean by generating innovative research and producing Earth System scientists well trained in the application of these tools.
