1. Successful mastery of the disciplines of higher mathematics and physics. Knowledge of the fundamental properties of raster geospatial data, as well as the geophysical and optical properties of landscape components. 2. Ability to provide a comprehensive physical-geographic characterization of a territory and to select and critically analyze information and cartographic data sources. 3. Knowledge of modern quantitative and qualitative methods of geographic research and the ability to apply them in professional practice and scientific research; ability to model objects and processes using modern quantitative and qualitative methods and geoinformation technologies.

The course involves studying the fundamental theoretical principles of Earth remote sensing and mastering the practical application of remote sensing methods to the study of landscapes and their components, as well as to the assessment of environmental conditions and the expert forecasting of landscape changes. The course aims to develop students' skills in locating, critically evaluating, acquiring, and analyzing remote sensing data to address theoretical-methodological and applied challenges in the field of physical geography. The functional component of the course covers the main types and sources of remote sensing data and data acquisition, while also fostering practical skills in the preliminary and thematic processing of remote sensing data.
