GEOG 2420

Students will explore the nature and acquisition of remotely sensed data, including aerial photography and satellite imagery. Various Earth Observation (EO) platforms are introduced, including drones, piloted aircraft and orbital platforms. Students learn about the capabilities and applications of common EO sensors, such as multispectral sensors, radar systems, thermal imaging and scanning LiDAR, and gain practical experience using these data in the lab component.
