Overview

This course is designed to achieve the general objectives in the form of outputs that the student is supposed to acquire after successfully completing the course, as follows:

1. Introducing students to the basic concepts of remote sensing, its limitations, characteristics and applications. and a review of the properties of electromagnetic radiation as they relate to remote sensing.

2. Review basic principles of aerial photography including: camera systems, film, digital imaging, photographic acquisition, simple image interpretation, and photometry

3. Learn methods of visual interpretation of aerial photographs.

Intended learning outcomes

1. The student should distinguish geological phenomena on aerial photos and satellite images

2. The student should create geological maps that can be used in the field.

3. The student should use small and large stereoscopes to distinguish different geological phenomena.

4. That the student uses the GIS application in mapping and analyzing geological data
