  • GEO 103 - World Environment

    3 Cr.
    Contact Hours Per Week: 3 Lec.
    This is a world environment course which addresses the fundamental principles of Physical Geography by the study of Earth processes. The surface of our planet has been sculpted by water, wind and ice for millennia to give a wide variety of landscapes. The earth itself can be divided into five spheres for study: Lithosphere, Hydrosphere, Cryosphere, Atmosphere and Biosphere. An understanding of these forces and the way they interact to produce the natural environment in which we all live has become essential. As settlements move deeper into marginal lands and encroach hazardous areas, we need to consider carefully the costs of such development to people and property. Many disasters are not the fault of nature but the fault of humanity placing itself in harm’s way.

  • GEO 121 - Remote Sensing and Aerial Photogrammetry

    3 Cr.
    Contact Hours Per Week: 3 Lec.
    Remote Sensing involves the collection of information from a distance and using it to analyze and interpret small or large areas of the Earth’s surface or any extra-terrestrial body. There are many satellites in orbit today that can collect imagery via photography, electronic sensor arrays, thermal sensors, radar, laser, microwave and other devices which scan the wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. All this data and imagery require a trained “eye” and sophisticated computer software if they are to be interpreted and used effectively in tasks such as managing our environment. Photogrammetry is the technique of measuring objects (2D or 3D) from photographs or digital imagery.
