Establishment of the University of Nebraska Airborne Remote Sensing Facility

9977801NARAYANA该奖项将为内布拉斯加大学建立一个航空遥感设施。 提供的资金用于购买一架飞机，该飞机将进行改装，以携带最近购置的最先进的遥感仪器和有关的计算机设备。 该大学将提供飞机的维护，并承诺提供三年的资金，以支持三名研究生在这些年中的每一年谁将进行与这个新设施相关的研究。 内布拉斯加大学拥有现有的，备受尊敬的研究和教育计划，这些计划围绕卫星遥感数据的信息而建立，通过使用这一新设施将显着增强。 遥感设备的空中定位将允许进行地面系统目前无法进行的校准和控制的遥感测量。 遥感信息与内布拉斯加州主要是农村经济的许多方面有关。 该设施将为在全球气候、洪水测绘、水资源监测、植被覆盖清单、污染监测和土地利用等领域进行研究的各种研究人员提供服务

9977801NARAYANANThis award will establish an Airborne Remote Sensing Facility for the University of Nebraska. Funds are provided for the purchase of an aircraft that will be modified to carry recently acquired state-of-the art remote sensing instrumentation and related computing equipment. The university will provide for the upkeep of the aircraft and has committed three years of funding to support three graduate students in each of those years who will be conducting research associated with this new facility. The University of Nebraska has existing, well-respected research and education programs built around information from satellite remote sensing data that will be markedly enhanced by access to this new facility. Airborne positioning of remote sensing equipment will allow calibrated and controlled remote sensing measurements not currently possible with ground-based systems. Remote sensing information is relevant to many aspects of Nebraska's largely rural economy. This facility will serve a broad diversity of researchers conducting research in such areas as Global Climate, Flood Mapping, Water Resource Monitoring, Vegetation Cover Inventories, Pollution Monitoring, and Land Use
