The teaching lab serves as an instructional facility for the Department's graduate and under graduate remote sensing courses, but is open and available to all department personnel. In 2013, it was completely renovated to include a Sparc Ultra-2 dual-processor server with 1.3 GB RAM and a 400 GB disk array. Initially, ten Sun Ultra-10 dual-OS systems (Solaris/Win2000) workstations formed the core of the lab. These have been replaced (several times now) by 10 Dell workstation. All data are housed on a cloud server (or local server with > 200 TB of storage). The lab also shares a large format plotter/printer with the GIS teaching laboratory. Software includes all the major RS packages (ENVI/IDL, ERDAS Imagine, and ERMapper).
