Dear Geography Students, Good Luck with your Exams and have a great Summer!!! As a part of the Geospatial Sciences Tract of study, I am offering Fall 2017 -- GEOG 413: Remote Sensing of the Environment. Undergraduate students in this course have in the past and recently presented in URSA, EUReCA and TNGIC - Tennessee Geographic Information Council<http://www.tngic.org/> and recently won EURECA 1st Place in the Physical Science Section, and Honorable Mention and 1st Place in the Ecology & Evolutionary Biology Section and an Office of Research & Engagement Bronze Medal (and monetary award). A graduate student in the course was encouraged to work on his dissertation study for the lab modules and has published 3 peer-reviewed research papers including the Journal of Hydrology. Another graduate student published in the Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing. A number of students have gone on to graduate school and a professional life. We teach cutting edge applications in Lidar and Drone technology. [cid:[log in to unmask]] We have 10 slots open per lab section X 2 lab sections.
