The group currently has 18 researchers from various schools at the UPM: Agronomy, Food and Biosystems Engineering; Topography, Geodesy and Cartography; Mountains, Forestry and the Natural Environment; Mines and Energy, and Buildings. We have been working on geospatial techniques, with profiles and training in the field of engineering, agriculture, architecture and geography, for more than 30 years.

Structure: Research Groups
The main aim of our group is to do R&I in the field of cultural landscapes, heritage, agrifood and environmental risks, from the initial documentation to developing new models. The combined, merged use of different digital technologies to improve geovisualisation.
We work on the following lines of research:
- Geovisualisation and heritage.
- GNSS and geopositioning techniques.
- Spatial geodesy and project control metrics.
- Application of aerial and land-based sensors in engineering.
- Observation of the Earth with remote sensors.
- Seismicity, seismotectonics and seismic risk in Spain.
- Virtual management of natural risks.
- Aerial and terrestrial sensor applications in engineering
- Earth observation with active and pasive sensors system
- Geovisualization and Heritage
- GPS Techniques and deformation analysis
- Satellite geodesy and metric control of civil engineering
- Seismicity, Seismotectonics and Seismicn Risk
- Virtual management of natural risks
We have equipment for acquiring and processing data and information recorded using aerial sensors (drones and satellites), land-based sensors (TLS scanner), GNSS receivers and LIDAR systems. We have collaborated with other national and international research institutions and also with public bodies and private companies, in Spain and abroad. Some of our projects:
- Network for research into Spain's cultural landscapes. "Networks of Excellence" stimulation work. State Plan for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation 2013-2017.
- Study of geological/geotechnical risks caused by exploitation of aquifers using space and land-based techniques. (AQUARISK). ESP2013-47780-C2-1,2-R. (2014/2016) and (2016/2018). In collaboration with the IGEO/CSIC.
- Comprehensive methodology for improving the perception of sensitive factors in cultural landscapes (SENSE-SCAPES)(2017/2018). In collaboration with the GIPC at ETSAM.
- Sustainable precision irrigation of woody crops in different scenarios of water deficit and salinity. Sub-project: Precision irrigation in olive groves and vineyards. Assessment of soil-plant-atmosphere sensors and multi-spectral images in deficit irrigation strategies. Ministry 2017-2019.
