The focus in our undergraduate and postgraduate courses is to provide a team or reference group of students, researchers and industry contacts working in various aspects of remote sensing. This is developed through regular group meetings to discuss project proposals, progress reports, field-preparation, conference presentations, publications and final reports. This interaction is developed from the stage of students involved in special projects (GEOS 3400) through to honours, and masters and PhD research. Part of this process involves training in project design and management along with research design, implementation, analysis and presentation of results. Most of our students are funded through collaborative grants with Cooperative Research Centres (CRC's) or industry partners.

Undergraduate and Postgraduate coursework:

Remote Sensing

• GEOM2000 / GEOM7000 Introduction to remote sensing of environment
  Introduction to the principles of remote sensing, including acquisition, analysis, and output of remotely sensed data (from hand-held, airborne, ship-based and satellite platforms)
• GEOS3400 / GEOS7400 Seminar in Biophysical Remote Sensing (Special Topic)
  Practical experience in all areas of remote sensing applications, especially project design, implementation and management.
• GEOM3001 / GEOM7001 Advanced remote sensing of environment (image processing and modelling)
  Advanced coursework (specialised courses) and research programs (masters, honours, PhD) focus on the development and testing of operational remote sensing applications for environmental monitoring, modelling and management, especially biophysical applications in the coastal environment.
• All GEOM courses

 

• CONS3017 / CONS6017 Landscape Ecology
  Explores the relationship between spatial patterns and processes in an ecological context through understanding of the landscape mosaic and landscape elements, how these are affected by natural & human environmental change, & in the context of conservation management

The program has active links to other geographic information science courses and subjects (GIS, geomatics) and can also be linked to other professional degree, ie. Marine Science and Master of Environmental Management
