Module overview
This module explores the vital role of Earth Observation (EO) in understanding and addressing critical environmental and societal challenges. Students will gain advanced knowledge and practical skills in using EO data to monitor and assess issues such as food security, carbon cycling and storage, fire regimes, and the impacts of environmental change.
Through a combination of lectures, hands-on practicals, and real-world case studies, students will learn to critically evaluate EO sensors and data sources, apply advanced analytical techniques, and communicate EO-derived insights to both expert and general audiences.
By the end of the course, students will be equipped to design and deliver EO-based solutions for complex environmental and societal problems, making them well-prepared for careers in research, consultancy, or policy.
