Specialization profile--Geoscience and remote sensing
The profile Geoscience & Remote Sensing focuses on increasing our
knowledge of the world we live in by developing and using multi-sensor
technologies to measure natural phenomena. In particular we focus on
measurement techniques from the ground and satellites in space to observe
the role of the atmosphere in the climate and weather system.
Within this specialisation, you will learn about state-of-the-art remote sensing technologies, data processing, electromagnetic scattering and how to use that knowledge to retrieve physical information from noisy signals.
