GIS 12 — Introduction to Remote Sensing
Remote sensing is a way of observing a feature without coming in direct contact with it. The course will provide an introduction to basic concepts in remote sensing. Students will use different types of satellite images to visualize features such as trees, streets, mountains, valleys, rivers, urban areas on the earth. They will be able to study the changes on the earth surface over a period of time and relate it to the natural and human environment. Upon completion of the course students will learn to use remotely sensed data for a better understanding of the environment.
