GIS and Remote Sensing

EPRC’s core expertise spans the collection, processing, analysis, and visualization of spatial data from multiple sources, including satellite imagery, aerial surveys, drones, and field-based GPS data. it applies these capabilities across a wide range of sectors, including water resources, agriculture, forestry, disaster risk reduction, urban planning, climate adaptation, and environmental health.

The organization is proficient in spatial modeling, land-use/land-cover mapping, flood and erosion risk assessment, watershed management, and habitat monitoring, integrating GIS and RS outputs with socio-economic and environmental datasets for comprehensive planning and monitoring. Also provide capacity building and training for stakeholders in geospatial technologies, ensuring the sustainable use of geospatial data and tools in local and national planning processes.
