Advanced Remote Sensing

Undergraduate

Remote sensing involves the acquisition of information about the earth from airborne, satellite, and terrestrial sensors. Both vector (profiling) and raster (image) data will be treated with an emphasis on their interpretation for various geographic and earth science applications. We will discuss remote sensing techniques and theory, and also the practical applications of these techniques. A significant part of the course will be devoted to laboratory exercises; there will be a final project involving the computer processing and interpretation of these data.
