Course Overview
This course provides a comprehensive understanding of remote sensing techniques and their applications in land use and land cover (LULC) analysis. Participants will learn how to interpret and analyze satellite imagery to assess changes in land use, monitor environmental impacts, and support sustainable land management practices. The course combines theoretical concepts with hands-on exercises using remote sensing software, enabling participants to apply these techniques to real-world scenarios.
