Learning Outcomes

The course is addressed to undergraduate students who sufficiently know and understand the principles of Geology. The aim of the course is for students to acquire advanced knowledges and skills on the analysis and composition of simple geological maps using remote sensing techniques

By the end of this course the student will be able to:

  • Know the basic principles of remote sensing
  • Know and understand the usage of aerial-photographs in geological research
  • Know and understand the usage of photogeological analysis
  • Carry out photogeological mapping in areas of medium difficulty
  • Compose simple geological cross-sections using photogeological data
  • Carry out geometrical calculations in photogeological maps
General Competences

Generally, by the end of this course the student will, furthermore, have develop the following general abilities (from the list above):

  • Search for, analysis and synthesis of data and information, with the use of the necessary technology
  • Working independently
  • Team work
  • Production of free, creative and inductive thinking
Syllabus

The course content includes the following chapters:

  1. Introduction to remote sensing and the photogeological analysis
