Students from the B.Sc. Data Science and B.Sc. Mathematics programs of School of Applied and Life Sciences, Uttaranchal University, Dehradun visited the Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS) in Dehradun. The visit was a unique opportunity to explore the institute’s renowned museum, which showcases the significant advancements in the field of remote sensing, satellite technology, and geospatial sciences.
Dr Ashutosh Bhardwaj, Sci/Engr - ‘SF’ at IIRS, guided the group of students through the museum, explaining the evolution and applications of remote sensing. The museum showcased satellite models, sensors, and ground-based technologies, providing students with a practical link to their studies. He further explained remote sensing data collection, processing, and analysis for applications in agriculture, forestry, water management, and disaster monitoring. He highlighted the role of data science and mathematics in extracting insights from satellite data. Students explored advanced technologies like GIS and machine learning for remote sensing analysis. Dr. Ashutosh linked data science and mathematics to real-world applications, inspiring them to contribute to space technology and environmental conservation.
The event was coordinated by Faculty members Mrs. Pratibha Pandey along with Mrs. Anjali Naudiyal and Mrs. Shivangi Baghel, who ensured the smooth execution of the visit and provided invaluable guidance to the students throughout the day.
The visit to IIRS provided valuable exposure to students, deepening their understanding of how data science and mathematics intersect with remote sensing technology to solve global challenges.
