GEOGG141/ GEOG3051Principles & Practice of Remote Sensing (PPRS)1: Introduction to Remote SensingDr. Mathias (Mat) Disney
• Component 1 (GEOGG141 only)– Mapping principles (Dowman, Iliffe, Haklay, Backes, Smith, Cross)– Understanding the geometry of data acquisition– Orbits, geoids and principles of geodesy
• Component 2 (GEOGG141 & GEOG3051)– Radiometric principles (Disney)– Understanding the what we measure and how– Radiative transfer (GEOGG141 only – Reading Week)– Resolution, sampling and practical tradeoffs– Pre-processing and ground segment– Active remote sensing (LIDAR, RADAR…)

• Remote Sensing at UCL– NERC National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO)
http://www.nceo.ac.uk/) – Involvement in several themes at UCL
• Cryosphere @ Earth Sciences: http://www.cpom.org/ (Wingham, Laxman et al.)
• Carbon Theme @ Geography (Lewis, Mat Disney et al.)• Solid Earth: COMET @ GE http://comet.nerc.ac.uk/ (Ziebart)
– More generally• MSSL: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/mssl e.g. imaging (Muller), planetary, astro,
instruments
• UK prof. body - Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Society– http://www.rspsoc.org/
