Earth Observation From Space to Decision
Geospatial professionals need to select the right sensors for the right questions. This beginner course systematically covers remote sensing principles—multispectral, hyperspectral, radar—then moves to practical GIS workflows: elevation analysis, GNSS data, quality assessment. The applied half focuses on real problems: detecting wildfires, mapping snow and water, identifying landslides. Advanced techniques like stereo-photogrammetry and interferometric SAR reveal terrain change over time. You'll graduate able to choose sensors, access data, and extract actionable insights for environmental monitoring.
