Description:
The possibilities for economic measurement have been transformed through observation of the earth from satellites. In this course, we will study the array of possibilities in free and commercial imagery, and link up to applications in economic research and industry. The course will start from the physics foundations of how satellites see the earth, examine measurement opportunities at all frequencies, show research and business applications, and carry the student to the point of writing code in Julia for one small problem.
