Outline:

In this class, students will learn basic concepts and practice of remote sensing for Earth surface observation and monitoring. Lectures are pre-recorded and each week students will be expected to watch the lecture prior to attending class. Class time will be structured as discussion/laboratory. In the beginning of the class, the lecture will be reviewed and questions addressed. The remainder of the class will be spent working on the laboratory due the following week. Students are encouraged to bring computers in order to work in collaboration with the instructor on their assignment.

There will be 10 “laboratory” exercises. The lab exercises are Google Earth Engine exercises that involve a sequence of activities designed to reinforce lecture material. At the end of each lab is a brief assignment that must be completed by the student in Google Earth Engine. The assignment is the documentation of the lab exercise and the assignment. The documentation should contain text, figures, maps, tables, imagery or other media that illustrates the student completion of the lab exercise. Text and figures are expected to be original and publication quality.

The final project will be based on a topic of the student’s choosing. The idea for the project will be expected around week 10 of the class. The final five weeks of the class will have no laboratory assignments so the students can work on their projects. During the project preparation period, the instructor will be present in the classroom to answer questions, troubleshoot, and provide support to student investigations. The “deliverable” is a remote sensing based paper formatted for publication in the journal Remote Sensing Letters and an in-class presentation describing the work.

Final projects can be performed in groups of 2-3 students, or individually. Each student in a group will receive the same grade. Group projects from two students are expected to be twice as good as an individual project; group projects from three students are expected to be three times as good as an individual project.

Plagiarism will not be tolerated and will be punished severely. Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to, observing others’ answers during examinations, and using copyrighted, previously published, or otherwise not original works in laboratory and final project reports.
