Geospatial Applications
Northwestern Michigan College provides comprehensive Geospatial Applications training solutions for the marine, surveying and remote sensing industries. Emphasis is placed on collecting and processing accurate, usable data on the natural and constructed world around us. Expert instructors utilize current industry standard equipment, including autonomous and remotely operated data collection systems that operate on land, in the air and in the marine environment.
NMC is proud to be a key partner in the Freshwater Research & Innovation Center, along with Discovery Pier, Traverse Connect, Michigan Technological University, and 20Fathoms. By co-locating working pier space, advanced laboratories, and business incubation under one roof, the center will serve as the home for water technology and marine mobility, where ideas become solutions, technologies become ventures, and opportunities become careers.
The 38,000-square-foot facility will feature advanced laboratories, business incubation space, and working pier access for research vessels. Areas of focus include autonomous and remote systems, AI, acoustic and observation platforms, water quality technologies, and sustainable marine mobility.
