EGM310: introduction to gis and remote sensing#
This module serves as an introduction to GIS and remote sensing, both marine and terrestrial. The materials included here cover terrestrial remote sensing, which is Weeks 9-12 of the module. The topics covered include:
fundamentals of (terrestrial) remote sensing (electromagnetic radiation, atmosphere/surface interaction, spectral properties)
satellites and sensors (orbits, active and passive sensors, where to find satellite data, digital imagery)
images and classification (band combinations, image enhancement, classification, accuracy assessment)
applications of (terrestrial) remote sensing (change detection, water resources, surface motion, archaeology)
