GEOG 5130 - Adv Actv Remote Sensing

Institution:

University of Utah

Subject:

Geography

Description:

Graduate students should enroll in GEOG 6130 and will be held to higher standards and/or more work. Active remote sensing uses radar or laser energy emitted by satellites or aircraft to measure and image the Earth's surface. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and lidar remote sensing permit precise measurement of surface height and changes in surfaces over time, enabling diverse applications such as glacier movement, ground displacement, and forest biomass. SAR also offers images of the earth's surface that provide information not available with traditional visible and infrared satellite sensors and the ability to image through clouds and darkness. This course covers theory and applications of active remote sensing using a combination of lectures and project-based learning. Prerequisites: "C" or better in GEOG 5110.
