Please join us for a Saturday morning overview of remote sensing, with a highlight on the Landsat satellite applications.

In this workshop, we will go over the electromagnetic spectrum, remote sensing data collection and processing, and applications with a special highlight of the Landsat missions and data applications.

During her masters’ work she used Landsat and Sentinel 2 satellite data alongside “in-situ” datasets to investigate the drivers of harmful algal blooms in two Georgia reservoirs.
