Course content
This academic discipline is dedicated to the study of the basic theoretical and methodological principles of remote sensing and the applied aspects of the application of remote methods to the study of landscapes, their components, assessment of the ecological state and expert forecasting of their changes. The discipline is aimed at developing in students the skills of searching, critical evaluation, preparation, organization and analysis of remote sensing data in order to solve theoretical and methodological and applied problems in the field of natural geography. The functional block of the discipline provides for familiarization with the main types and sources of remote sensing data, work with Landsat and Sentinel remote sensing data, their derivatives, software and algorithms used in modern practice of remote sensing data processing.
