Course Title:
Remote Sensing
Course Description:
Introduces the theory, instruments, and techniques for remote sensing of the earth. Topics include fundamental properties of electromagnetic radiation; matter-energy interaction in the optical and microwave regions; optical imaging systems; synthetic aperture radar and side-looking airborne radar imaging systems; radar polarimetry; microwave scatterometry and radiometry; system considerations, such as temporal and spatial resolution, operating frequency and bandwidth, calibration, measurement precision, and accuracy; data acquisition and storage, such as models and techniques for retrieving geophysical parameters from remotely sensed data; and survey of current and planned airborne and spaceborne remote sensing systems and application of these sensors to measuring geophysical phenomena and monitoring global change.
