Course Overview

Remote sensing technologies have transformed how natural resources are assessed, monitored, and managed. This Remote Sensing Applications in Resource Management Training Course introduces participants to satellite imagery, GIS integration, and analytical methods for sustainable land, water, forest, and mineral management.

The course provides practical training in image interpretation, classification, change detection, and integration with geospatial datasets. Participants will work with case studies in agriculture, forestry, water resources, and environmental management to strengthen their applied skills.

By the end of the program, participants will be able to use remote sensing as a decision-support tool for sustainable resource planning and policy-making.
