As part of the Geol 6225 course, the students develop a research project in remote sensing. The projects include image processing and analysis of airborne or spaceborne data using the software called ENVI (Environment for Visualizing Images). The students, among other tasks, must submit a written report. Below are listed all the projects submitted along the years until now. Click on the title to access the pdf file.
