SATELLITE IMAGERY IN MAPPING NATURAL RESOURCES TOPIC OF SHORT COURSE
FREDERICKSBURG – A one-day short course on Satellite Imagery in Natural Resources Mapping and Management will be presented from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., April 10, at Texas Tech University’s Fredericksburg location, 1111 South Adams Street.
Seiichi Nagihara, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Geosciences at Texas Tech, is the instructor for the course. The course is jointly organized by the Southwest Section of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) and the Texas Tech University Division of Outreach and Extended Studies. The course enrollment fee is $85 for AAPG members and $95 for others.
Course participants will be introduced to various types of remote-sensing satellite data currently available, including Landsat 7, ASTER and MODIS. Participants also will learn about basic data manipulation techniques useful for mapping surface natural resources and identifying land cover types like rock, soil and vegetation. There will be a number of hands-on computer exercises on image manipulation, enhancement, and interpretation. The software package ER Mapper (Earth Resources Mapping) will be used for those exercises.
To register for the short course, go to www.dce.ttu.edu/outreach or contact Wanda Merchant, program coordinator, at wanda.merchant@ttu.edu or at (830) 990-2717. For more information on the course, contact Nagihara at seeichi.nagihara@ttu.edu or (806) 742-3149.
