Examine the fundamentals of acquiring, processing, and interpreting remote sensing data. Explore the development of skills in the use and analysis of remote sensing data. Survey the physics of electromagnetic radiation and its interaction with geologic materials; common techniques for remote sensing; science goals and instruments onboard ongoing and planned remote sensing missions; and techniques for analysis of remote sensing data. Geological Sciences 455S and 471T (Topic: Intro Remote Sensing Geosci) may not both be counted. Three lecture hours and two laboratory hours a week for one semester.
