Remote Sensing PART 5: Teaching Remote Sensing

Percepción remota Parte 5: Enseñanza de la percepción remota

5. The Remote Sensing Curriculum.

In addition to the material summarized in the previous entries, next are shown some links that show good examples on lecture contents that can be used to structure the Remote Sensing core curriculum. What I like about the material contained in the links provided is the philosophy under which the contents are developed. I hope you find it as well inspiring.

Remote Sensing PART 4: Environmental applications

Percepción remota en la práctica: Aplicaciones medioambientales

4. Remote Sensing in the practice: Environmental applications.

NOTE. Please notice that the following links provide information on some applications only. This is because my work has been principally focused on the analysis of information retrieved by optical sensors. The reason: the free access for non-commercial purposes.

There are several application intended for remotely sensed imagery. The outcomes for some fields are promising, but for others the potential has not yet been exploited principally due to the limitations in the spatio-temporal resolution at which the data is nowadays available. The limited resources at non-profit and academic institutions is also a huge limitation; nevertheless, researches have always found a way to overcome the obstacles.

Remote sensing PART 2: Data sources, pre and post-processing tools.

2. Where to get the data (global).

Next are provided links referred to Landsat, MODIS, ASTER, SRTM, TRMM data. Links to other kind of data are briefly referenced, either because the data is not public or simply because I have not used that kind of data.

2.1 NASA satellites.

Remote Sensing PART 1: Tutorials for beginners - Intermediates

Percepción remota Parte 1: Tutoriales para principiantes - intermedios

Remote Sensing is perhaps the field for which I have found the largest volume of resources throughout the WEB. Personally, I think that for practical and engineering applications the amount of free information available may fulfill the expectations at an introductory stage.
