Develop interactive Web GIS applications, maps and dashboards using tools such as Leaflet, MapLibre, Mapbox or OpenLayers.
Process satellite imagery such as Sentinel-1/2, Landsat and PlanetScope for agriculture, land-use, climate and environmental applications.
Use Google Earth Engine and remote-sensing indices for crop monitoring, vegetation and climate analysis.
Explore and apply AI/ML and computer vision for geospatial applications such as crop classification, plot detection, object detection and image segmentation.
Integrate GIS data with APIs, dashboards and digital platforms.
Support field data collection, spatial validation and quality assurance.
