A research team specializes in the use of geospatial technologies and geographic information systems (GIS) to solve problems related to sustainable natural resource management and agro-hydrology. This team generally works at the intersection of several disciplines, such as environment, agriculture, hydrology and data sciences, and with an integration of artificial intelligence in data processing and resource management.
