地理科学学士-环境遥感

地理学是连接自然科学和社会科学的独特领域：地理学家不仅研究自然地球系统，而且研究人类社会，研究两者之间的相互作用。地理学家可以使用强大的技术，例如地理信息系统（GIS），数字地球图像（遥感）和空间建模。地理也有悠久的野外传统，经常涉及到壮丽的地点。犹他大学的地理计划将为您提供一种协作，综合的方法，以了解复杂的地理挑战，例如气候变化，全球化，可持续性，城市化以及有危险的生活。该课程的课程包括环境，人文地理，地理分析，制图学和GIS等课程，然后学生从自然地理学和人文地理学的广泛领域以及相关领域的选修课（例如大
Remote sensing uses measurements from aircraft and satellites to monitor the Earth and its environmental systems. Remote sensing has unique abilities to bridge spatial scales ranging from centimeter-sized pixels collected by drone cameras to global coverage amassed by long-duration satellite missions. Research in the Department of Geography covers the full spectrum of remote sensing technologies, including drone/UAV imaging, multispectral and hyperspectral remote sensing, radar, and lidar. We apply remote sensing to a variety of environmental issues, including changes in glaciers and mountain snowpack in response to climate change, wildfire and vegetation disturbance, and mapping greenhouse gas emissions. Remote sensing skills are increasingly sought after in a variety of disciplines, and by many employers in environmental and intelligence fields<br><br>Our introductory and methods courses give students a strong background in remote sensing analysis. Advanced Optical Remote Sensing covers advanced theory and methods for multispectral, hyperspectral, and thermal infrared remote sensing. Advanced Active Remote Sensing covers advanced theory and methods for radar and lidar. These courses can be combined within the Remote Sensing of the Environment undergraduate emphasis for the Geography BS.
