GeoFly Lab at UCSC conducts peer‑reviewed research in GIS, remote sensing, and UAV-based mapping, supported by NSF/NASA/CalFire funding. We have 8+ years of UAV field operations and data collection, and curate a high‑resolution aerial imagery (120,000+). We develop reproducible geospatial workflows for analysis, modeling, and education. GeoFly Lab leverages GPU-accelerated computing to enable scalable data processing and machine-learning applications while training for drone-enabled geospatial research.
