GEOL 420 Introduction to Remote Sensing

Credits: 3

Students will study the physical principles of earth remote sensing across the electromagnetic spectrum (visible, near-infrared, thermal infrared, and microwave) and aerial and space-based remote sensing technology. Applications, including environmental monitoring, resource exploration, land use and land cover change, and natural hazards will be discussed. Laboratory work will include application of image processing techniques and software.

Prerequisites: Junior standing.
