Credit points:	03
Year:	2008
Student Contribution Band:	Band 2
Administered by:	Discipline of Environmental Sciences

This subject focuses on the applications of airborne and satellite remote sensing to terrestrial environments for resource inventory, monitoring and environmental problem solving. The theory and practice of relevant image interpretation and digital image analysis techniques are covered through practical and project work. Local fieldwork is carried out to provide an evaluation of the accuracy of image analysis.

Learning Outcomes

• provide a sound basis to the underlying theory of digital remote sensing;
• acquire proficiency in advanced techniques for remotely sensed digital image analysis;
• promote an awareness of the scientific applications of remotely-sensed data and analytical techniques to address specific environmental problems.

Graduate Qualities
