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 theme of this fall's class is: Transdisciplinary Environmental Hazards Research
The class grade is determined by
attendance and participation. There are no exams or written assignments.
The class coordinator is Prof William Rose, Geological
Engineering (307 Dow; 487-2367; raman@mtu.edu)
