Obje
ectives and skills
Objecctives:
At the
e end of the
e course the students sh
hould know the physical basics of rem
mote sensing, the
methods and tecchniques re
elated to the
e science of
o RS and they
t
shouldd be familiar with
appliccations at diffferent climattological sca
ales.
Skillss:
The students will recognize the potentiialities and limitations of
o thermal aand other re
emote
sensiing images; they
t
should know how to
o develop a remote
r
sensing project uusing softwarre and
remo
ote sensing data; they should be able to app
ply several algorithms tto obtain climatic
param
meters and integrate them in a GIS; and use a th
hermal came
era and integgrate the results in
a miccroclimatic prroject.
