Remote Sensing

Description

Remote sensing is the development and interpretation of digital spatial data from high-resolution satellites and airborne imagery systems to monitor and analyse changes in the surface features of the Earth.
Remote sensing aims to provide students with the knowledge and skills needed for a theoretical basis in spatial phenomena and an understanding of data processing and analysis techniques.

Remote sensing provides a unique source of information for various social, environmental, oceanographic and military applications and graduates with a background in remote sensing may find employment in forestry, agriculture, natural resource management, wildlife conservation, environmental change, pedology, oceanography, geology, meteorology, and politics.
