During this activity students will be introduced to a brief theoretical explanation of what remote sensing is followed by practical demonstrations of its potential including: land-use changes and urban sprawl, identification of fires, volcanic eruptions, floods, etc. Hence, numerous and varied case studies are used to show the possibilities of Remote Sensing in identifying natural and anthropogenic events at different spatio-temporal scales. Furthermore, explanations and technical guidelines are provided for the EO Browser tool so that students can learn how to search for and process satellite images through this online application.
