Do you like Remote Sensing? Would you like to learn more?
Join us to hear about Remote Sensing fundamentals, as well as accessing and using multispectral, low & high resolution satellite imagery for yourself. We will talk about the various satellite resources available today, from Landsat to WorldView-3, and how to find free data for mapping or experimentation.
