GEOL50873

Prerequisites: Seniors and graduate students who have taken any of the following courses: GEOL(ENSC) 30363, GEOL 50731, 50523, 50863, 50883, 50713 or permission of instructor. This course introduces students to fundamental principles and concepts of remote sensing and explores the applications of remote sensing datasets and techniques in geological and environmental sciences. Hands-on exercises on the applications of remote sensing techniques in geological and environmental sciences are key components of the course. The hands-on exercises are mainly based on data from local or international case studies or collected by students in the field (e.g. using Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)). Digital image processing techniques/software including ENVI as well as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) processing software such as SNAP will be used for data analysis and interpretation. Crosslisted as GEOL/ENSC 50873.
