Please note that some speakers' dates may be rearranged as the schedule is finalized.

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.
