Abstract
This course is composed of the remote sensing colloquium, which offers scientific talks on diverse remote sensing topics, and the seminar, which tackles various research questions in group projects.
Objective
The colloquium serves the purpose of broadening the view on remote sensing related topics as well as fostering international contacts and cooperation. Furthermore, it offers a forum to engage in scientific discussions on remote sensing topics. The seminar is a platform to get involved in a group project, which highlights the need for teamwork and collaboration in most working environments. Students will be able to bring all previously acquired skills to the table to develop concepts, analyze datasets and discuss results. Furthermore, they will improve their scientific writing and presentation skills.
Content
The colloquium in remote sensing focuses on a variety of remote sensing related topics. Scientific talks will be presented by PhD students and invited guest speakers, followed by a discussion. The colloquium intends to address students, staff and visitors interested in remote sensing and related topics. Attendance during all events is mandatory for registered students. The seminar in remote sensing focuses on remote sensing data analysis within a group project. Each group will examine prepared datasets and a concept for the analysis will be developed and presented. The choice of specific hypotheses being tested on the dataset is more open than in other courses. After the full analysis has been applied (including processing steps developed within the group), the results will be written up in a project report, and also presented in a mini- colloquium. Together with the content of the work, scientific writing and presentation skills will be evaluated and discussed. During the first lecture, groups will be formed and topics distributed. Not attending without notice may result in working alone on a topic.
