This course is designed for those who have an interest in remote sensing (typically though not always using satellites) of the natural world, and in particular natural hazards. The course has three distinct parts (1) the underpinning principles of remote sensing, including dealing with electromagnetic radiation's interaction with matter; (2) using these basic principles to observe, study and quantify natural hazards; and (3) GIS and its applications to understanding and communication hazards.
