Environmental Remote Sensing The Arava Institute for Environmental Studies

Remote Sensing is the technology enabling the acquisition of information about an area or object without direct physical contact with that area or object. Forms of remote sensing include aerial photographs (nowadays mostly UAVs), satellite images, and field spectroscopy.

This course aims to provide students with remote sensing theory and practical applications using environmental research and applications. The science and technology of remote sensing will be overviewed alongside hands-on measurements linking satellite, airborne, and field data.
