Applied Geospatial Research Group (AGRG) 2025 Research Internships

The boreal zone of Alberta is under increasing pressure from natural resource extraction. Roads, seismic lines, well pads, and other industrial-disturbance features exert cumulative environmental effects on the region’s vegetation, wildlife, hydrology, and carbon dynamics. The purpose of this project is to develop remote-sensing tools and workflows that help us describe, understand, and mitigate some of these effects. Researchers from Canada (University of Calgary) and Germany (Ludwig Maximillian University of Munich) are collaborating on this research in the context of ABBY Net: the Alberta-Bavaria Research Network. The mission of ABBY-Net is to bring together researchers from Alberta, Canada and Bavaria, Germany who collaborate on interdisciplinary research and training for an improved understanding of the complex interactions in E³-Systems (Environment, Engineering and Socio-Economics) to facilitate energy systems transitions.
