Module overview
This module will provide students with an introduction to the fundamental concepts and principles of remote sensing (which broadly involves the use of remote observations, often space-based observations, to make inferences about the state of the Earth's environment). It will focus on the radiometric concepts that underpin remote sensing such as electromagnetic radiation (EMR), EMR interaction with atmospheric and earth surface features, techniques for extracting useful information from remote sensing data(e.g., inversion, estimation and classification approaches), and how remote sensing data can be used in various terrestrial applications.
