Welcome at Department of Soils Science and Remote Sensing of Soils

  The Department was founded in 1999 as an independent educational and research unit within Institute of Physical Geography and Environmental Planning. At present the stuff of the department are four academic teachers,  one technical worker and one Ph. D. student. We give lectures and teaching classes in all studies conducted at the Faculty of Geographical and Geological sciences in the field of soil science and remote sensing. Scientific research are concentrates on measurements and computer modeling of soil and crop bidirectional reflectance, application of remote sensing techniques for soil science, application the satellite remote sensing to identification of abandoned lands, estimation their acreage and assessment of succession stage of their vegetation fields of remote sensing, influence of bidirectional reflectance phenomena and optical properties of the camera's lens on remote sensing images, radiometric calibration of remote sensed data and its processing, determination of soil hydraulic properties and its modeling with pedotransfer function (PTF) and application of hyperspectral remote sensing to soil properties investigation.
