| Description |
Important notice: The (same) practical is offered twice: Thursday, 10-12, in English; Thursday, 14-16, in German.
BSc Geography students have priority in the afternoon practical (in German) and are asked to sign up for that group, where they have a guaranteed place.
The 24 places in the morning group are reserved for MSc LENC and MSc BEE students. Please indicate a high priority for this module in the central survey by M. Manthey/A. Wacker, if you are interested. Possible free places in the afternoon (German only!) may be given to MSc students during the first lecture (Tuesday, 14 October, 10:15).
All students are expected to visit the accompanying lecture on Tuesdays, 10-12.
Contents
By joining this practical, students learn how to search and download satellite data for their own remote sensing-based research. They know how to visualize different spectral information as images and spectral curves and they can manipulate data (stacking, cropping, band selection). For image interpretation they can derive vegetation indices and image classifications. The practical ends with a land cover change detection exercise and the creation of a map showing remote sensing-based results. Exercises are performed using the free and open source QGIS plugin EnMAP-Box. This way, students work in an environment they can use "at home" without any cost and they deepen their GIS knowledge through regular exercises.
