Contents:

The observation of the Earth system using remote sensing has fundamental applications for everyday lives of mankind. The module introduces in the physical basis, the methods, and appli-cations of remote sensing from ground-based, airborne, and space borne platforms.

The module is equipped with brand-new examples such as hurri-cane watch, wild fire observations, and sea surface temperature measurements for weather forecasting.
