The aim of the course is to give an introduction to the concepts of remote sensing and modeling with particular emphasis on the applications in forestry and environmental studies using also a number of practical cases.

EXPECTED RESULTS AND KNOWLEDGE:
The course will introduce the basis of remote sensing and all the technical aspects needed in order to apply the technique in practical studies in the forest and environmental domain. Students are expected to gain knowledge and understanding of the fundamental principles of the data used and methods and applying knowledge and understanding needed for the practical application, in particular for the data collection, preparation and corrections. The applications and examples will give also the needed background to develop their own judgment capacity in relation to the applicability of the methods in their specific cases.
