This interdisciplinary program introduces students to the basic theory and application of remote sensing used in biology, geography, and geology to study the earth. The intention is to prepare students with the necessary skills for understanding how earth's resources, landforms, and environmental problems may be analyzed from remote platforms. Computer manipulation of remotely sensed data is an important aspect of this program.
