Course Objective

Estimation of the geological boundaries and tectonic features using aerial photographs is aimed before going to field work. Remote sensing is useful and time saving works. Buffer zon determination of any landslide site cia remote sensing works, city planning studies using aerial photography and classification works of any field using satellite optic imagery for different point of views are aimed.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Recognition of rocks using aerial photographs
2   Recognition of geological strustures in aerial photographs
3   Analyzing any field in 3D
4   Classification of satellite images in geological point of view
5   Using satellite imagery for engineering aims
