This course will provide an overview of planetary remote sensing principles and methods. The students will be trained on performing geospatial integration and analysis of different spatial datasets. This course introduces the students to the theoretical problems and practice of data capture, handling and methods of analysis of spatial data.

This course introduces remote sensing - the acquisition of information from a distance, typically via airborne and spaceborne sensors, and the integration and analysis of remotely sensed data in a geospatial environment. The students will learn about different approaches to explore spatial data collection, analysis and geo-visualisation with the practical use of ArcGIS (and other) GIS software.
