About this course

This course focuses on a range of remote sensing, geospatial data, and geospatial science applications in the Arctic and Antarctic domain and polar regions. Based on a brief introduction of fundamental remote sensing principles in Arctic research, this course will discuss general change detection applications, will introduce methods for the monitoring of snow and water; and teach remote sensing methods for wildfire analysis. In the final module, the course will discuss increasing landslide hazards in the Arctic and reveal how shallow and deep-seated landslides can be mapped using optical and radar remote sensing and satellite imagery. All these applications are actors of change in the Arctic and impact geospatial intelligence applications such as the assessment of Arctic domain trafficability.
