Spring. 3 credits. Letter grades only.

W. Philpot.

Introduction to the principles, equipment, and methods used in obtaining information about earth resources and the environment from aircraft or satellite sensors. Topics include: basic interactions of electromagnetic radiation with the earth, sensors, sensor and grounddata acquisition, data analysis and interpretation, and project design in the form of a proposal to use remote sensing for a specific application.

Outcome 1: Develop an understanding of the design characteristics and constraints of standard remote sensing systems.

Outcome 2: Gain an understanding of the use of remote sensing as a tool.

Outcome 3: Design a project using remote sensing for a specific application.
