The staff are specialists in image processing, digital remote sensing, and photogeology.

Training courses in image analysis and remote sensing (including photogeology) are provided regularly to staff of BGS and overseas geological surveys.

During the year BGS gave a remote sensing and image-analysis training course in Bandung, Indonesia, and a photogeology course in Jordan.
