Earth Observation Scientist
Save
Earth Observation Scientists study the Earth using satellite and airborne sensors and other technology to collect data in fields such as hydrology, ecology, agriculture, and geography. They develop, calibrate, and prepare satellite and airborne sensors for collecting data. They are responsible for acquiring, processing, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting multi-source geographic data mainly using GIS and remote sensing software. They interpret the real-time data and determine the way in which it may address specific end-user applications.
Education
An Earth Observation Scientist typically needs a master's degree in a field such as geography, environmental science, or a related field. They must have a strong background in remote sensing, GIS, programming, and mathematics.
