Graduate Certificate in Remote Sensing at Virginia Tech

Virginia Tech, United States

Programme overview

Remote sensing provides technical and methodological approaches to holistically study human activities that have an impact on the Earth’s sometimes poorly understood physical processes. Because remote sensing systems are often sensitive to wavelengths outside the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum (e.g., the infrared and microwave), they allow us to expand our view and "see" the world in a different way. Objective, inter-calibrated, and synoptic data streams from a wide variety of sensors and platforms have become increasingly available since the dawn of the space age.
