About Core-Net
Through innovative research we aim to advance the application of imaging spectroscopy for the exploration and management of natural resources. Our primary expertise resides in applications of value to the geological and mining communities but we conduct numerous collaborations investigating applications in land cover characterization. Our group encompasses geologists, geographers, and physicists working with collaborators in industry and government agencies. Dr. Benoit Rivard is the lab principal investigator and is professor of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Alberta.
