Learning objectives
The course aims at introducing students to the concept of fotogeology and at giving them methods and techniques of remote sensing to describe and analyze the natural elements of the physical landscape thus supporting geological studies.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course, students will have learnt how to analyse aerial photos, othophotos and satellite imagines, how to extract geomorphological and geological information from these data, and how to combine such materials with the ones from traditional field surveys

The exam will be oral
Teaching Resources
The slides of each lesson are available at the Ariel web site and they are in English language, instead lessons are in Italian
Assessment methods and Criteria
At the end of the course, students will have learnt how to analyse aerial photos, othophotos and satellite imagines, how to extract geomorphological and geological information from these data, and how to combine such materials with the ones from traditional field surveys. At the exam the students present and discuss a short project they developed by applying fotogeology and remote sensing techniques to solve problems in the field of earth sciences.
