Remote sensing technologies allow scientists to gather detailed satellite images and receive measurements almost in real time. These tools have become essential for various uses, from emergency management to tracking environmental changes.
The Applied Remote Sensing program includes classes on the principles behind active and passive sensing methods, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) applications, and elective courses in oceanography and atmospheric sciences. Students can tailor their studies based on personal strengths, interests, and professional goals. Through the mandatory MPS internship, participants gain practical experience and build industry connections at selected organizations. This program is jointly offered by the Rosenstiel School and the Center for Southeastern Tropical Advanced Remote Sensing (CSTARS), a premier facility with direct satellite data access and strong global partnerships. Professionals seeking skill enhancement will also find this track valuable.
