141 REMOTE SENSING EDUCATION AND RESEARCH BASIC CHARACTERISTICS AND TRENDS STRUCTURE AND FUNCTIONS Prof. Dr. D. Rokos Laboratory of Remote Sensing National Technical University of Athens, Greece. Abstract This paper attempts to analyse and discuss the basic characteristics of Remote Sensing Education and Research, as they are defined and/or affected by the basic characteristics of Remote Sensing Science, Techniques and Methodologies respectively. Remote Sensing bases, nature, philosophy, aims and applications, being multidimen sional, interdisciplinary and integrated in character, presuppose'some concrete and inevitable effects on relevant University courses and programs. Therefore, basic mathematics and physics, photointerpretation and statistical methods and techniques, computer science and digital image processing, as well as sensor and space technologies topics have to optimally contribute and interact whithin basic remote sensing cur ricula, integrating experience, specific and interdisciplinary scientific knowledge and logic towards elaborating and developing specific and/or multidimensional relevant Land, Atmos phere and Ocean methodologies and applications. * At a structural and functional ievel this results in a great diversification: (a) of multi and inter-departmental University Remote Sensing courses and programs, (b) of multi and inter-discipiinary remote sensing laboratories and research, (c) of national and muiti/international remote sensing education, training and research and development centers, programs and activities, (d) of multi level and types (university, postgraduate, graduate and undergraduate, tech nologists, technicians and/or decision makers, local and central authorities e.t.c.) and life long continuing remote sensing education. Analyzing and evaluating the current trends in remote sensing education and research in Europe, USA and Canada the author concludes with some proposals which are already in practice in the Laboratory of Remote Sensing of The National Technical University of Athens. 1. Introduction Remote Sensing is a relatively new scientific and technological field of interest for many Universities and Research and Development Centres all over the world dealing with disciplines and programs involved in the observation, monitoring, evaluation and management of our natural and socioeconomic environment as well as of their relations, interactions, interdepen dencies and change trends in time. In many of them the development of Remote Sensing courses and programs was »the inevitable evolution of their Photointerpretation tradition in specific areas of applications like Geography, Forestry, Geology, Soil and Land Use/Cover Classification, Natural Resources, Urban Area Analysis, Archaeology, Surveying and, Civil Engineering, Water Management e.t.c. In other Universities the development of Remote Sensing curricula and relevant re search activities was an obvious consequence of the parallel development of relative new technologies in the Departments of Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical and
