Earth and Space Sciences 421:
Introduction to Remote Sensing Earth and Space Sciences 421 is designed to introduce upperclass and graduate students to the physical principles underlying spectral remote sensing as applied to the study of the land surface of the Earth, Moon and terrestrial planets. Remote sensing at visible and near-infrared wavelengths, thermal infrared, and radar are covered. The class includes a computer lab applying processing techniques to images, and critical evaluation of selected professional articles on remote sensing applications. General Class Information Class Lab Information, Documents & Datasets Here is an example of the type of image that is used in the
class. This is a pseudo-color view of Mount Rainier taken by the ASTER
instrument flying aboard the Terra spacecraft. |
