| 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.
