Description of research activity:
The ESTEPA research unit (Territorial, Landscape and Heritage Studies) is a working group founded in 1998 by Professor Jorge Hermosilla Pla, within the Department of Geography of the University of Valencia, in response to a series of needs: to project geographical research as a key way to increase territorial knowledge; to incorporate new integrated geographical work systems; and to train new graduates in the practice of applied geography and research. The ESTEPA unit is made up of a dynamic team of geographers, which also includes collaborators from other disciplines (archaeologists, historians, environmentalists, engineers), with extensive experience in the study of territorial processes and their environmental and heritage manifestations. This interdisciplinary nature and the constant incorporation of technological innovations in the field of geomatics (GIS, CAD, Remote Sensing) allows us to work in different fields, always obtaining satisfactory results. As part of its fundamental principles, ESTEPA aims to transfer university values to society, by bringing the results of research closer to the public with a formative character and by proposing solutions that guarantee the...The ESTEPA research unit (Territorial, Landscape and Heritage Studies) is a working group founded in 1998 by Professor Jorge Hermosilla Pla, within the Department of Geography of the University of Valencia, in response to a series of needs: to project geographical research as a key way to increase territorial knowledge; to incorporate new integrated geographical work systems; and to train new graduates in the practice of applied geography and research.
