Problem Statement

The overall objective of this module is to introduce concepts of remote sensing information that relates to crop conditions (water, health), important for irrigation and agriculture.

Module Overview

Remote sensing information is becoming commonplace in several aspects of human activity. Agriculture is not strange to it. In fact, there is a growing community of researchers and commercial groups aiming to respond to questions regarding crop production, water needs, and future scenarios for agriculture across the globe. This module introduces students to the different remote sensing technologies and existing applications of this information to agriculture. The different learning activities will show the student concepts, applications, and interpretations of remote sensing data in farming. The analysis is done at the farm scale.

The learning activities guide students to access remote sensing information, process it, and interpret it based on physiological aspects of plant growth. Students will interpret variability of farm
