Learning objectives
<br />To providethebasis of the three dimensional image remote sensing,withstereoscopic and radar methods, for the analysisofsedimentary sequences,tectonic structures and monitoringofgeomorphological elements.
Prerequisites
<br />Basic knowledge about the electromagnetic radiation, and knowledge of stratigraphy and tectonics.
