Welcome

​Welcome to the  Geospatial Computing for Environmental Research (GCER) Lab in the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering at Mississippi State University.

About GCER

​​Geospatial Computing for Environmental Research Lab is focused on leveraging satellite observations and advanced deep learning techniques to enhance digital agriculture and water resource management. 

We study agriculture and water resources management using Earth Observation data. Our scientific work addresses many relevant Earth's process questions using deep learning models, including land cover and land use change, water quantity and quality, agricultural conservation practices, and climate change.​

Our research integrates satellite remote sensing, deep learning techniques, and field data collection to provide insights into agricultural and water resources.

The team is led by Dr. Martins, an agricultural and biosystems engineer, who brings remote sensing expertise to the group and also benefits from the collaboration from multiple institutions.

The advance of satellite sensors, cloud-based computing, and artificial intelligence will engine the geoscience field in the coming years and will establish a new perspective in environment monitoring from local to global scales, and GCER lab is looking to contribute with intra-disciplinary, rigorous, AI-driven research on this topic.
