Welcome to ECO-GIS LAB
Welcome to ECO-GIS LAB, a research hub dedicated to ecological studies and geospatial analysis. Our lab focuses on integrating ecology, remote sensing, and GIS to address environmental challenges such as biodiversity conservation, forest fire analysis, carbon stock assessment, and landscape dynamics.
At ECO-GIS LAB, we employ cutting-edge geospatial technologies and field-based ecological research to enhance our understanding of ecosystems and support sustainable environmental management. Our work spans forest ecology, climate change, land use dynamics, and conservation planning, collaborating with researchers, institutions, and policymakers.
Join us in exploring innovative solutions for ecological sustainability through geospatial science!
