Remote Sensing Seminar
GE 5810
1 Credit Hour
Fall Term
A two-semester sequence of seminars on selected topics in remote sensing.
The course is designed to familiarize the student with recent developments
in remote sensing hardware, data processing and applications. Prerequisite:
GEOL 4111 or 5111 and consent of instructor.
Remote Sensing Seminar Course Summary
The advanced remote sensing seminar deals with current applications of
remote sensing in geologic and earth resources problems. This is
a single-semester course that will acquaint the student with the latest
equipment and techniques. The course is one credit hour. Students
may take the course a second time for a second hour credit (a maximum of
two credit hours may be earned).
Topics for discussion are selected each semester according to the interests
of student participants. Reading material for each topic will be
selected from recent journals and a reading list prepared. Students
are assigned articles for presentation from this list. Participants
review assigned journal articles and present summaries to the class for
discussion. Each presentation will be accompanied by a list of references
and appropriate illustrations. Presentations are evaluated by
all members of the class. Course grades are based upon these evaluations.
The
list below presents a sample of topics that might be discussed in a one-semester
class:
-
Gamma ray spectroscopy
