Starting GIS 4045: Photo Interpretation & Remote Sensing


Starting GIS 4045: Photo Interpretation & Remote Sensing

This week marks the start of a new adventure — GIS 4045: Photo Interpretation and Remote Sensing! I’m really excited to explore how satellite imagery and aerial photos can reveal patterns that aren’t visible from the ground. Coming from an emergency management background, I’m especially interested in how remote sensing supports disaster response, from mapping hurricane damage to monitoring flood zones.

As someone who loves traveling and scuba diving, I think it’ll be fascinating to see how these same tools are used to study coastlines, coral reefs, and environmental change here in Florida and around the world. Looking forward to sharpening my “spatial eye” and seeing the planet in a whole new way!
