TROPICAL RESOURCES MAPPING RESEARCH GROUP

FACULTY OF BUILT ENVIRONMENT AND SURVEYING

Tropical Resources Mapping (TropicalMap)

The TropicalMap is a multi-disciplinary Research Group (RG) under the Faculty of Built Environment and Surveying, and the Resource Sustainability Research Alliance. Tropical Resources Mapping (TropicalMap) research group (RG) was formed to focus on high quality researches, publications, consultancy works and training/courses related to mapping, monitoring, quantification and modeling of tropical resources using an integrated approach combining digital earth technologies (satellite based remote sensing and Geographical Information System), insitu measurements and ecosystem models. 

Our aims is to become a leader in the field of integrated approach (digital earth technologies, ecosystem models and insitu measurements) for tropical resources mapping that will serve the following purposes for the benefit of the nation:

  • Providing high quality research works
  • Publishing in high impact factor journals
  • Providing excellent teaching  and training via post graduate supervision
  • Providing consultancy works
  • Providing short courses/training in tropical resources mapping and or management
