Satellite-Based Geological Mapping & Analysis
National Center for Remote Sensing and Geo-Informatics (NCRG), Karachi, Pakistan · Education, Training & Awareness Division
Pre-requisites
Basic knowledge of Earth sciences and allied fields with some computer knowledge.
Objectives
Remote Sensing offers wide applications including Lithological discrimination, structural mapping, land form analysis, hydrogeology, environmental geosciences and mineral prospection. The synoptic coverage and multispectral information provided by the remotely sensed data have proved to be advantageous over conventional methods for geological mapping. It helps in visualizing the terrain as a whole for understanding the spatial relationship between different features.
The aim of this training course is to impart knowledge and skills in utilization of Remote Sensing data for developing Geological applications. Geological maps composition and sharing of expertise in carrying out mineral prospection, ground water studies, and Geo-hazard monitoring projects will be covered along with necessary hands-on practical/demonstration.
