When CBA was founded, remote sensing was one of the main work areas. Currently, there is unfortunately very limited activity in remote sensing and geoinformatics. Tommy Lindell has in spite of his retirement a few years ago collected ground data for a remote sensing project in the arctic region and he has also explored some new camera techniques for data collection. We are actively trying to convince the TN-faculty at UU that we should receive resources to rebuild activity in this area of great and increasing interest in society.
