Apply remote sensing technologies to assist scientists in areas such as natural resources, urban planning, or homeland security. May prepare flight plans or sensor configurations for flight trips.
<ul><li>Collect geospatial data, using technologies such as aerial photography, light and radio wave detection systems, digital satellites, or thermal energy systems.</li><li>Verify integrity and accuracy of data contained in remote sensing image analysis systems.</li><li>Integrate remotely sensed data with other geospatial data.</li><li>Consult with remote sensing scientists, surveyors, cartographers, or engineers to determine project needs.</li><li>Adjust remotely sensed images for optimum presentation by using software to select image displays, define image set categories, or choose processing routines.</li><li>Merge scanned images or build photo mosaics of large areas, using image processing software.</li><li>Manipulate raw data to enhance interpretation, either on the ground or during remote sensing flights.</li><li>Participate in the planning or development of mapping projects.</li><li>Prepare documentation or presentations, including charts, photos, or graphs.</li></ul>
