Remote Sensing
Number Seven: The physics of various Remote Sensing techniques;
interpretation of conventional aerial photography in
exploration; infra-red Remote Sensing techniques; side-
looking airborne radar; theory and applications of
Landsat imagery; enhancement techniques for satellite
imagery, interpretation of Landsat photographic products
and application to several case history areas. Integration
of Remote Sensing information with the overall data base
as applied to exploration.
Number Eight: A computer-oriented unit aimed at giving students
an introduction to the techniques commonly used to
manipulate, process, analyse and interpret digital images
of the Earth. Such images are gathered by satellites
such as Landsat and Magsat, as well as by airborne
geophysical instrumentation. The physical principles
of multispectral scanning, synthetic aperture radar, and
satellite and airborne magnetometry will be discussed.
Number Nine: Principles of Remote Sensing, status and future
developments. Electromagnetic radiation at the Earth's
surface. Earth surface and atmospheric interactions with
electromagnetic energy. Principles of air photography.
Satellite imagery: systems and sensors. Airborne
scanners, radars. Image processing. Applications.
