This workshop is targeted to those with no background in remote sensing, It will introduce the basic concepts of remote sensing including; the electromagnetic spectrum, characteristics of selected major sensor systems, components of a satellite image, and a description of spectral, spatial and temporal resolution. The workshop will use the Google Earth Engine and cloud-based data. Students will compare and contrast various types of data across time and space and will be introduced to basic image manipulation techniques.
