Application of Remote Sensing to Coastal Management
Editor: A.J.Edwards, University of Newcastle, UK.
This module consists of ten lessons looking at the uses of airborne and satellite data for costal management. More details are given in the table below.
The Module has been revised and extended to take advantage of new features of the Bilko v3 software. The lessons are available in PDF format, with images and tools for the different lessons available as separate files.
