Dear Geography Students,
Happy New Year to you all!!!
I hope, like me that you spent your holidays resting on the beach (Jamaica..Ya Man!!), spending X-mas with your 94 year old Great Aunt and with family you haven’t seen in 31 years!!! I’ll se them in another
31 years!!!
I would like to invite you to take
GEOG 495 Special Topic in Remote Sensing: Image Processing in Spring 2017 (No Pre-reqs!!) 1 to 4 Credit Hours
Lecture: BGB 405, T R 11:10 – 12:25pm, Lab 001/002: BGB 405, W 12:20 pm- 2:15pm/2:30 – 4:25 pm
Unlike GEOG 413, where the focus was on the theory and background of remote sensing and an introduction to image processing skills., the primary focus in 495 will be on development of your image processing
skills in remote sensing. You will learn a highly marketable skill, because as you may know
Forbes Magazine has ranked cartographer and photogrammetrist #15 among the 20 fastest growing jobs in the USA.
This is primarily in keeping with the rise in Drone sales and someone has to process this data. Please note that over the last 3 years the mean grade in Geography’s remote sensing courses has been an A-.
Again Happy New Year!!!
Kindest regards,
