Capturing thermal images through drones that will fly over the University of Santiago de Chile, Jairo Herrera Painenao, a student of Land/Geomatics Engineering, will detect possible heat islands in our campus. 

His thesis work is entitled “Analysis of thermal images for the detection of possible heat islands at the University of Santiago de Chile”, and his guiding professor is Dr. Marcelo Caverlotti.

“Study of the sinking of the Atacama Salt Flat using synthetic aperture radar images” is the title of the study conducted by Roberto Montoya Araya and Marisol Alegría González, both students of Land/Geomatics Engineering, whose lead professor is Dr. Marcelo Caverlotti.

The record will measure the terrain of the largest salt deposit in Chile, which according to a recent study led by the University of Chile, is sinking at a rate of between 1 and 2 centimeters per year.
