About us
The Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS) is a part of the Earth Sciences Sector of Natural Resources Canada.
The Canada Centre for Remote Sensing is responsible for the provision of a national service for the reception, processing, archiving and dissemination of remotely sensed data for Canada and, in conjunction with the private sector, for the development of remote sensing technology and applications. CCRS is participating, in partnership with other departments, in the development of the Canadian Geospatial Data Infrastructure (CGDI) for network distribution of remote sensing and other geographical data bases. CCRS is also working with industry to develop geographic information systems (GIS) applications. The Centre's National Atlas team provides an authoritive national summary of integrated Canadian geographical information for decision-makers, educational institutions and the general public.
