Geospatial Science in the Arctic Domain

This course focuses on a range of remote sensing and geospatial science applications in the Arctic domain. Based on a brief introduction of fundamental remote sensing principles, this course will discuss general change detection applications, will introduce methods for the monitoring of snow and water; and teach remote sensing methods for wildfire analysis. In the final module, the course will discuss increasing landslide hazards in the Arctic and reveal how shallow and deep-seated landslides can be mapped using optical and radar remote sensing. All these applications are actors of change in the Arctic and impact geospatial intelligence applications such as the assessment of Arctic domain trafficability.
