Abstract

Remote sensing and geographic information systems education and research at Kansas State University have grown tremendously in the past decade. Dramatic improvements in hardware and software have enhanced offerings in a wide range of spatial analysis (including remote sensing) courses. Success in extramural funding through such agencies as the U.S. Agency for International Development and the National Science Foundation have created a major research thrust in Kansas State University's Geography and Biology programs relative to the application of remote sensing and geographic information systems for natural resource assessment and landscape ecology. The State of Kansas initatives have also enhanced Kansas State University's role in providing a significant contribution in remote sensing/geographic information systems research and education
