The Remote Sensing and Spatial Analysis Program seeks to integrate the science and application of remote sensing and spatial analysis into departmental programs.

The efficient use and analysis of spatial data is crucial for the understanding of natural processes and to inform management actions across the large tracts of terrestrial and marine conservation parks and reserves that the department manages. The program develops sophisticated statistical analysis, interpretative and automation techniques to synthesise spatial data into a form where it directly assists departmental staff.
