WELCOME TO GERSVIEW
GERS LAB DATABASE
The Geological and Environmental Remote Sensing Laboratory (GERS Lab) was founded in January 2002 as part of the Department of Geology in the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez. Our mission is to promote and facilitate the education and research of the Earth System Science using remote sensing. Current research is mainly focused on environmental monitoring with bio-optical properties and digital images. We are also interested in developing Geographic Information Systems. Our vision is to become a prestigious laboratory in remote sensing of the Caribbean by generating innovative research and producing Earth System scientists well trained in the application of these tools.
In 2007, the GERS Lab developed a new database via the internet, called GERSVIEW, in order to make all the research data available to the worldwide community. GERSVIEW uses the ArcIMS platform, which is very friendly. It is currently under development and it was started with funding provided by the Sea Grant College at UPRM. New databases are being incorporated with the current support of NOAA and NSF projects. We hope you can find it an useful tool and enjoy it.
