What hard/technical skills are most important for Environmental Analysts?

Remote Sensing Applications, including LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), are increasingly important. These technologies include the collection and analysis of images and data collected from satellites, aircraft, and UAVs (drones). The ability to use technology to acquire this imagery and then to analyze it will be of great use in pursuing a career as an Environmental Analyst or related careers. Knowledge of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and general mapping skills are also of great use. All of these skills can be acquired through Geography and Geoscience courses and programs.
