Geospatial Technologies: Remote Sensing (RS)
Objectives:
- Understanding RS Technology
- The Electromagnetic Spectrum (EM/EMS)
- Sections of the Earth (Lithosphere, Hydrosphere, Atmosphere, & Biosphere)
- RS Sensors (Landsat, SPOT, IKONOS)
- RS Images & Data (Multispectral, Hyperspectral, Panchromatic)

- RS Methodologies
- Geospatial Features & their Attributes
- RS Applications
DATA
Your data (County, LULC, Road, Soil, and Stream) for this Term Project would be GIS coverages acquired/obtained by you (site to search
include SHA, USGS, Dept. of Planning). Write something about your data (each of the GIS coverages acquired) so that your readers would be able get an idea of your dataset (importance of each coverage).
V. METHOD (please use your notes, the ArcGIS Tutorial, & emailed materials)
You will be using the GIS methodologies including some procedures (Recodes, Buffer, and Overlay) to analyze the data. Please save your analysis (use "Save As", and navigate to your Workspace and save in your CEGR 110 folder).
