The "Aerospace Information" department and the "Aerospace Information Systems" laboratory, which is an unit to its structure, were established at the end of 2006.

The main activity of the department is related to the processing and interpretation of aerospace data, creating spatial data for the purposes of ecological monitoring, the protection of the natural environment and biodiversity, the management of natural resources, the building of digital twins, etc. The research activity of the team is related to the application of aerospace information, remote sensing methods, geographic information systems (GIS) and computer modeling to study the impacts of climate change and anthropogenic activity on various components of the natural environment and ecosystems as a whole.

Based on the research activity of the team, the department offers the construction of aerospace information systems and the provision of web-based monitoring services in various fields such as:

• Inventory of natural disturbances;
• Monitoring of natural disasters;
• Monitoring of the dynamics and recovery processes of a post - fire forest vegetation;
• Determining the regulatory capacity of landscapes and their role in preventing the occurrence of catastrophic events;
• Monitoring of atmospheric pollution;
• Inventory of greenhouse gas emissions;
• Monitoring of flooded areas and surface water bodies;
• Tracking the state and dynamics of the snow and ice cover;
• Research and modeling of specific natural habitats and wetlands;
• Ecological monitoring and protection of biodiversity;
• Application of remote sensing methods in the control of invasive, ruder, and competitive plant species;
• Monitoring of renewable energy sources;
• Monitoring of heat islands and studying their impact on the environment;
• Monitoring of regulated and unregulated landfills.
