Advance GIS and Remote Sensing

The aim of the course is to familiarize the students with the emerging technologies and tools applicable in Meteorology and Climate Sciences and satellite data gathering techniques.

This course covers also the design, sensor specification, and the utility of past, present, and prospective airborne and spaceborne remote sensing systems that have earth resources observation and environmental monitoring as their primary objective.

Both active (radar) and passive (optical) systems will be covered.

Applications of digital data derived from these systems will be discussed and investigated utilizing digital image processing techniques.
