Decision Support System for Agricultural Resrouce Management

The DSSARM group at MCC focus their efforts on utilizing system approach, infomation technology and analytical tools to develop methods and information systems to support decision making at different levels ranging from field, farm, watershed and regional scales.

Geographic Information System (GIS), Remote Sensing Image Analysis (RSIA), Global Positiong System (GPS) are employed in various projects to generate spatial information while Modeling and Simulation is the basic tool used to understand and predict biophysical and socioeconomic processes together with outputs of the systems being investigated.
