Remote Sensing Basics with Application to Water Resources, Agriculture, Disaster Managment and Air Quality Monitoring....
It is estimated that in the next several years about 80000 jobs will be offered in Remote Sensing area just in Europe
This course is product of long time teaching Remote Sensing to engineers all around the world, mostly 1 on 1. Through that time a significant amount of quality material was prepared in such way that can serve as good starting point for all geologist, hydrogeologists, environmental engineers and others to dive into this fascinating discipline that is evolving every day more and more.
Carefully chosen and prepared video material is ordered in logical way enabling cost effective learning. Recommendation of different papers, books and pdf are also given.
If you consider this course not good for you you can always request your money back, I have 30 days money back guaranty.
And of course, you can ask as many questions as you want on the Forum of this course.
Here is the content of this course:
Module 1
- What is Remote Sensing, electromagnetic spectrum, wavelengths, frequency of electromagnetic radiation from Sun
- Interaction of electromagnetic radiation from Sun with objects on Earth, types of platforms that carries sensors on satellites
- Historical overview of remote sensing, basic information about Landsat series of satellites

Your Instructor
Dragan Kaludjerovic, PhD
Hello, my name is Dragan, I am founder of Environmental Modeling Solutions and an engineer of hydrogeology and environmental protection - great fan of both professions. Besides teaching and training engineers all over the world, I like constantly to learn something new.
I am currently on the online specialization at the prestigious The Johns Hopkins University. During my doctoral studies, ten years ago, my mentors told me that I have "superpowers" to simplify and explain complicated engineering topics in an understandable way.
As a geologist by profession, I had first contact with remote sensing in my university days in 1996. At that time, satellite images from LANDSAT satellites were not free and I worked on analyzing airplane images.
As the beginning of the revolution in the application of satellite remote sensing in many scientific areas, it is possible to take the year 2007 when NASA and USGS enabled the free use of images from LANDSAT satellites from archives dating back to 1972.
I gained more knowledge in the field of remote sensing at the The Johns Hopkins University (Environmental Engineering in 2017).
In the past few years, I have held dozens of courses all over the world (United States, France, South Africa...), usually 1 on 1 or to more than one company engineers.
Currently I am working as consultant and educator in Environmental Modeling Solutions.
