| This introductory level course is designed to teach remote sensing basics. The approach for the course is a combination of hands-on exercises and lecture/discussion customized for resource managers and interpreters in the NPS and FWS. Participants will learn how to acquire satellite imagery and identify appropriate uses, limitations, and benefits of remote sensing data for their applications in resource management and interpretation. Students will be exposed to a broad variety of remote sensing applications, including the study and interpretation of land-based, water-based, and atmospheric resources. This course is offered jointly by the National Park Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. |
