Saturday, 9:00 – 16:30

June 20 and July 4, 2015

Prerequisites: Completion or satisfactory progress in ENV 320

Course Description: The course aims to provide a basic understanding of land-use mapping with remote-sensing techniques. The focus will be on multispectral remote sensing and pixel based image classification. For land use mapping, freely available satellite data from the Landsat mission will be used. Processing will be done with ArcMap10 or similar software.
