Introduction to Remote Sensing EAS 42600, EAS c5000 (Engr 301) Spring 2008 Prof. Marco Tedesco mtedesco@sci.ccny.cuny.edu Text "Remote Sensing of the Environment, an Earth Resource Perspective, 2nd Edition (2007)" by John R. Jensen. Lecture: F, 10:00 AM -12:30 PM, Marshak Bldg., O44 The aim of this course is to provide you the knowledge of the underlying principles of remote sensing: acquiring and interpreting data from satellite-based systems using data collected in the electromagnetic spectrum from the ultraviolet through the microwave. The versatility and availability of remote sensing data make of this discipline a key one in the current applied sciences scenario. Applications include, for example: mapping land use and land-use change, global atmospheric and ocean phenomena, climate change. In the course you will learn the basic physics of remote sensing, become aware of the various sensors that are currently available, and learn about applications. - Office hours are Friday after the lesson. I can answer your questions by email (mtedesco@sci.ccny.cuny.edu) Syllabus.pdf Special notes: - The use of electronic devices of any kind during classes, labs and exams (e.g., laptop computers, ipods, cell phones, etc.) is allowed only after my permission. - Any conflict between religious observances and class lectures or labs should be reported to me in advance. - Students with documented disabilities who may need accommodations, who have any emergency medical information the instructor should be aware of, or who need special arrangements in the event of evacuation, should make an appointment with the instructor as early as possible, and no later than the first week of the term.
