Remote Sensing for Environmental Monitoring
Course Summary
This course equips participants with the skills to use satellite imagery and geospatial tools for environmental monitoring and natural resource management. Learners will explore how remote sensing can detect land use changes, assess vegetation health, and track environmental degradation. Hands-on exercises will focus on interpreting and analyzing satellite data for real-world environmental applications.
Key Learning Outcomes
- Understand the role of remote sensing in environmental monitoring
- Perform land use/land cover classification using satellite imagery
- Use vegetation indices (e.g., NDVI) for ecosystem health assessment
- Monitor surface water bodies and detect environmental changes
- Conduct change detection using multi-temporal datasets
