Interested in the theory and application of satellite remote sensing as a tool for environmental science? Want to know the fundamentals of electromagneti cradiation, reflection and absorption, black body radiation, use of the Plank Function, satellite and sensor technology, map projections, integration of GIS data, and digital image analysis? Curious about measuring atmospheric trace gasses, and cloud temperatures from space? Want to quantitatively measure land cover change across landscapes? Interested to learn ENVI image processing software? Or willing to explore R/Google Earth Engine as a new tool for remote sensing?

Check out CEE 432/532 & SEFS 432/532- Advanced Remote Sensing and Earth Observation if you’re interested!

The course is offered to both upper-level undergraduate students and graduate students (no pre-requisites but physics and GIS are helpful).
