Faculty of Arts
Since the beginning of the space age, humanity has developed satellites to image the Earth’s land and water using a wide range of cameras, lasers, and radars. We all have access to data from these instruments – today’s challenge is to use this data to generate information for decision-making. This course will provide you with a fundamental understanding of the data produced by Earth-observing satellites, teach you methods to manipulate, combine, and analyze them, and provide you with tools that allow you to harness the power of satellite imagery. By the end of this course, you will have a solid understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of Earth Observation data, and have the skills to use them to map and monitor Earth’s many environments.
