Purpose and description of the content of education:
The module "Remote sensing of the natural environment" aims to acquire knowledge about taking aerial and satellite photos and to acquire the ability to process these data. It indicates methods of using remote sensing data for monitoring and a better understanding of global and local processes on Earth's surface, based on analytical and digital techniques.
