In the name of God

Major (Course): Geological Remote Sensing

Program: Master of Science

Introduction:

The main goal of our course is to educate students in the field of earth sciences and remote sensing. They will obtain general knowledge of geology, remote sensing, field and laboratory spectroscopy, and multi-spectral and hyperspectral satellite data processing algorithms, optical and thermal infrared spectroscopy, and advanced image analysis. We try to expand the boundaries of remote sensing knowledge and meet the needs of research, educational and industrial centers in earth sciences that rely on the geological diversity of Iran. In a friendly and challenging environment, they could learn to combine remote sensing data with laboratory and field measurements, and to extract information from these data for application in geosciences especially:

-        Environment geological

-        Mineral resources and geological mapping

-        Monitoring geo-hazards such as earthquakes, floods, volcanoes, etc.,

-        Determining the appropriate strategy to prevent and reduce the damage of natural disasters

-        Assessing surface water pollution and preparing drainage map

-         Geoconservation, Geoherritage and Geotourism explorations

-        Detection of vegetation, crop and applying precise agriculture
