  1. A Survey of Remote Sensing Applications BOT/GEOG 3150 Introduction and Overview

  2. Group Activity • What IS remote sensing? • Name some advantages and disadvantages of viewing the earth from progressively higher altitude. • Why is the sky blue at noon and orange at sunset? • Why aren’t shadows pitch black? • How can you use remote sensing to map elevation? • How do the police measure your speed with radar? • Why is water black in satellite images (it really is!)? • What is a pixel and how does a computer make an image from a bunch of them?

  3. What will we cover this semester? • Lots!

  4. Fundamentals of Remote Sensing Basic physics of light interacting with materials

  5. Types of Remote Sensing

  6. The History of Remote Sensing • Historical context is always important for understanding what we do now

  7. Applications of Aerial Photography • Land use planning • Agriculture • Geology • Archaeology • Vegetation • Habitat

  8. Application of Multispectral and Hyperspectral Satellite Data • Land cover • Habitat • Marine • Coastal • Agriculture • Geology • Atmospheric

  9. Applications of Active Remote Sensing • Radar and Lidar • Elevation mapping • Hydrology • Vegetation • Archaeology
