Learn to design and critizise geo-data acquisition projects. Lecture notes and literature references will be handed out during the course. Attention will be paid to information about spectral and spatial characteristics of recent sensor platforms. Finally, new developments in the field of Remote Sensing will be dealt with. During the practical part of the course emphasis will be on applying the various theoretical aspects to real world case studies.
Final judgement is based on a written exam or on replacing tasks.
Lecture notes will be available during the course. Its focus is on the relationship with the client, on evaluation of model concept and model implementation and on reporting about the results. Models of spatial processes are becoming a very important means for suppoting policy decisions. However, making and using models has been mostly a specialist activity with a non-spatial character. The overall objective is, to introduce a methodical approach for all aspects of modeling, with a special interest for spatial aspects.
