Remote Sensing for Water Management

The EU curriculum is organized into five units: 

1. An introduction to the techniques and principles of optical, thermal, and radar remote sensing,
2. An overview of the main data sources (images, altimetry products) and a hands-on exercise in data retrieval,
3. Learning through practice the methods of preprocessing (geometric and radiometric corrections) for optical and radar images, which are frequently used in Geographic Information Systems
4. A series of lectures and hands-on exercises illustrating the value of various types of remote sensing data for hydrology and 
5. The Role of Remote Sensing in Addressing Environmental Issues

This course introduces students to the physical fundamentals of remote sensing as applied to hydrology, water resources management, and the monitoring of agricultural land. It also aims to enable students to apply a basic level of remote sensing data in practical settings.
