GEO 304 - Remote Sensing of the Environment

Grades of C (2.0) or better in GEO 203 and URP 260. (3).

Introduction to remote sensing applications in academic disciplines and professional applications. Basic principles of spectral energy, image interpretation, and remote sensing in relation to optical, thermal and radar imaging. Examples of remote sensing applications with methods for obtaining quantitative information from remotely sensed images. Interpretation of remotely sensed images through in-class labs and research projects emphasizes the study of spatial and urban/environmental relationships.
