Canada Centre for Remote Sensing

A wonderful first look at the subject of 'Remote Sensing', this education kit is intended for students 11 to 15 years of age

The work of the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing focuses on the following Priorities of the Earth Sciences Sector.

Climate Change

Data from earth observation satellites are used to detect and assess the impacts of climate variability and change on Canada's landmass and coastal zone.

  Northern Development

Remote sensing monitoring and mapping methods for land, water and man-made features of our vast northern areas.


Hyperspectral Techniques

Detailed spectral analysis of surface features with advanced remote sensing data and techniques.

 
Natural Hazards

Scientists use satellite imagery to better understand the causes and effects of natural hazards.


Atlas of Canada

Discover Canada through national maps and facts. This online Atlas offers a collection of maps and related information about Canada.

 
Geodetic Survey Division

Provides a national coordinate system which serves as a reference for all mapping, charting, navigation, boundary demarcation, crustal deformation, and other georeferencing needs.
