Remote Sensing and GIS Application in Geological and Geophysical Mapping

3 credits

Covers the use of remote sensing and GIS techniques in geological and geophysical mapping. An integrated geological mapping approach is followed in which geological maps are digitized and re-interpreted in a GIS environment on the basis of aerial photographs, satellite imagery and airborne geophysical data. The main subjects in this course are airborne geophysics, geological remote sensing, integrated image interpretation and geological mapping methodology. *Note: Students may receive credit for one of ESC 490AH or GEOL 490AH.*
