The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claires geospatial - remote sensing certificate provides you with foundational knowledge in geospatial technologies with a special emphasis on remote sensing. Using high-altitude satellite and aerial imagery, as well as unmanned aerial systems (UAS), youll learn more about the earths environmental characteristics and how to use that information to make decisions. Curriculum throughout the program will explore the principles and techniques of collecting, processing and extracting information from remotely sensed data to facilitate geospatial intelligence sharing in support of sustainable planning and management. An elective course in lidar (short for light detecting and ranging) will introduce you to the visualization, processing and use of airborne and terrestrial lidar data for applications in environmental and sociocultural settings. Project-based, real-world learning is a focus of the program, allowing students to learn field data collection techniques and methods, including those related to GPS and surveying, firsthand. The specialized, 18-credit certificate is available to professionals in the workforce who want to further their education, as well as current UWEC students looking to add a valuable credential to their degree.
