Course content
This discipline is devoted to
study of the basic theoretical and methodological principles of remote sensing and
applied aspects of the application of remote methods to the study of
of landscapes, their components, assessment of environmental conditions and expert
and expert forecasting of their changes. The course is aimed at developing students'
skills of searching, critical evaluation, preparation, organization and analysis of remote sensing data with
in order to solve theoretical, methodological and applied problems in the field of
of natural geography.
