Description

The content of the EU is divided into five sections: 

  1. A presentation of the techniques and principles of optical, thermal, and radar remote sensing,
  2. A presentation of the main data sources (images, altimetry products) and a practical exercise in data retrieval.
  3. Acquisition through practice of preprocessing methods (geometric and radiometric corrections) for optical and radar images, frequently used in Geographic Information Systems.
  4. A series of lectures and practical exercises illustrating the value of different types of remote sensing data for hydrology and 
  5. The contribution of remote sensing to answering environmental questions
