How do they match: Remote Sensing Technicians

  • Remote Sensing Technologist

  • Apply remote sensing technologies to assist scientists in areas such as natural resources, urban planning, or homeland security. May prepare flight plans or sensor configurations for flight trips.

  • Collect geospatial data, using technologies such as aerial photography, light and radio wave detection systems, digital satellites, or thermal energy systems.
  • Monitor raw data quality during collection, and make equipment corrections as necessary.
  • Provide remote sensing data for use in addressing environmental issues, such as surface water modeling or dust cloud detection.
