Introduces the techniques and methods used in radar and Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) remote sensing. Covers the underlying principles of the measurement techniques and the interaction of microwaves and LIDAR signals with natural surfaces and the atmosphere. With respect to radar, the course focuses on the role of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems and their application to monitoring aspects of the Earth’s surface, including 3-D interpretation. With respect to LIDAR, the course introduces the different airborne and satellite systems and applications in terrestrial surfaces, principally for urban applications. Prereq. RMS 6110 (which may be taken concurrently).
