Remote sensing for water management

The EU content is structured around 5 sequences: 

1. An introduction to 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 data search exercise,
3. Practical acquisition of pre-processing methods (geometric and radiometric corrections) for optical and radar images, frequently used in Geographic Information Systems.
4. A series of lectures and workshops illustrating the value of different types of remotely sensed data for hydrology and water management. 
5. Using remote sensing to answer environmental questions

This course introduces students to the physical foundations of remote sensing as applied to hydrology, water resource management and agricultural land monitoring. It also aims to give students practical experience in the minimal use of remote sensing data.
