ENVIRONMENT AND REMOTE SENSING RESEARCH (EARTH) Laboratory




EARTH Group is one of the research groups in De La Salle University (DLSU) Physics Department. The group is composed of individuals with a fervent desire of contributing towards the protection of the Earth’s fragile environment. The main task of this unit is to examine the environment (air, water, land) by harnessing its’ interaction with light along with utilizing a host of passive and active sensors that may also serve as correlative sources of information.This will also lead to the establishment of multi-platform measurements. Thus, the researches conducted by the group are aimed at obtaining more in-depth information on the environment. Whenever possible, instruments will be built or adapted to the Philippine setting in order to create a network of instruments that will yield not only baseline information on the environment but also provide continuous monitoring because we believe that


WHAT GETS MEASURED, GETS MANAGED!
