 Purpose of the class:
This
is a class built around an interdisciplinary seminar series on Remote
Sensing topics. It is meant to give an introduction to this rapidly
developing research field for our students. It is meant for students in the
Minor program in Remote Sensing, which can be taken by majors in at least 9
departments. It is also of possible interest to graduate and undergraduate
students interested in remote sensing and related topics.
The class grade is determined by
attendance and participation. There are no exams or written assignments.
