OBJECTIVE
At the end of the course the student will posses knowledge of Remote Sensing Techniques and its application in natural resource management.
1. INTRODUCTION 9
Definition – Physics of remote sensing – electromagnetic radiation (EMR) – remote sensing windows – interaction of EMR with atmosphere, earth surface,
soils, water and vegetation – platform and sensors – image interpretations.
2. LAND USE STUDIES 9
Definition of land use – land use / land cover classification – schemes and levels of classification systems with RS data – land use mapping – change detection – urban land use planning, site suitability analysis, transportation planning.
3. WATER RESOURCES 9
Areal assessment of surface water bodies – Capacity survey of water bodies – mapping of snow-covered areas – flood risk zone mapping – identification of groundwater potential zones, recharge areas – droughts, definition, drought assessment and management.
4. AGRICULTURE, SOIL AND FORESTRY 9
