Satellite Techniques for Earth Observation

Education facts

Code: SBA006

The earth observation techniques and satellite missions enable significant contributions to geoscience by better understanding of climate change and geohazards. There are many indications of climate change through studying essential climate variables (ECVs) such as sea-level rise, ice and glacier melting, land motions, etc. Hence, the aim of the course is to provide knowledge of advanced methods and techniques of satellite missions and their applications in different fields of geospatial information science such as geography, geodesy, geophysics, geodynamics, tectonics, meteorology, hydrology and oceanography.
