GE 490 Remote Sensing and Image Interpretation (Spring: 3)
Prerequisite:
GE 132
Offered Biennially
The course emphasizes methods of geological interpretation of remotely sensed
image data. Students challenged with a series of images from which the group
must, with guidance, draw relevant conclusions about the geology and geomorphology
of the area represented. Projects are based on spatial data in paper or
digital format including topographic or bathymetric maps, digital elevation
models, aerial photographs, satellite images, subsurface images, scenes
from the seafloor, and other planets. Methods of digital image processing
and enhancement are discussed. Grades are based on projects that will consist
of written reports, maps, processed digital images, and interpretive cross
sections.
