Topics in Earth System Remote Sensing

3 credits · Graduate

Questions asked about a changing planet are strongly influenced by data collected across a variety of spatial and temporal scales. Remote sensing of globally distributed ecosystems and human landscapes enables the exploration of questions not possible without the extension of those dimensions. This course will focus on developing scalable Earth system research questions using a variety of tools including advanced remote sensing methods, image acquisition including UAV systems, data synthesis and analytical approaches, literature review, progress reporting, and student presentations.
