Supporting Remote Sensing for Montana

MontanaView Logo

MontanaView is a consortiumof universities, non-profit organizations, and government agencies working within Montana to advance the use of remotely sensed data for the benefit of Montana's citizens. MontanaView is a member of the AmericaView nationwide remote sensing consortium.

Goals

  • To advance remote sensing through education and outreach in the public and private sectors.
  • To advance remote sensing and sustainable technology transfer through research.
