Intro to Remote Sensing

Catalog description

Introduction to the theory and practical use of remotely sensed satellite images. Principles of radiation physics; sensor systems; data acquisition; image analysis; classification schemes. Remote sensing applications to atmospheric sciences, hydrology, mineral and oil exploration, natural hazards monitoring, and land and resources management. Laboratory exercises deal primarily with computer analysis of remotely-sensed images with some field exercises. GEOL 4034 and GEOP 5034 share lecture/lab, but GEOP 5034 is graded separately and additional graduate-level work is required. (Same as GEOL/HYDR 5034)
