  • GEOS 5210: Geological and Environmental Remote Sensing

    4.00 Credits
    Western Michigan University

    The course provides rigorous (70% of student's efforts) hands-on-exercises on the applications of remote sensing techniques in geological and in environmental sciences. The hands-on exercises are primarily based on case studies that were published in peer-reviewed articles, data downloaded from our receiving station, and/or data collected by the students using hand-held VNIR spectro-radiometer. In the process of solving the lab exercise, the students will master image processing techniques. The fundamentals of remote sensing will be covered as well, since the student can not start dealing with applications unless he or she knows the fundamentals. Throughout the course, the students will work with a wide-range of space-borne data sets including CORONA, Landsat MSS, Landsat TM, SPOT, ASTER, SIR-C, SRTM, A VIRIS, ASAR, and ERS. Notes: The prerequisites to 5000-level courses are: junior status and 12 hours of course work in Geosciences or consent of instructor. There may be specific prerequisites to individual courses. Credits: 4 hours
