| Purpose
of the class:
This is a class
built around an interdisciplinary seminar series on Remote Sensing
topics. It is meant to give an introduction to this rapidly developing
research field for our students. It is meant for students in the
Minor program in Remote Sensing, which can be taken by majors in
at least 9 departments. It is also of possible interest to graduate
and undergraduate students interested in remote sensing and related
topics.
The class grade
is determined by attendance and participation. There are no exams
or written assignments.
