Target audience: Undergraduate Students (can be expanded to grad students easily) 

By the end of this course, students should be able to: (1) work with satellite imagery and understand the process by which different types of satellite data are produced; (2) understand how to collect and analyze satellite data in a way that is replicable and reliable; and (3) apply satellite data and imagery to the social sciences.

Target audience: Graduate students and advanced undergraduate students in the social sciences

This class is designed to make social sciences researchers better informed about the promise and pitfalls of incorporating satellite imagery into their work. With the rapid expansion of global satellite coverage, improved technologies, and increased availability of free, high-resolution images, there are now unprecedented opportunities to study human social relations through spatial and temporal analytical frames. Readings and assignments are calibrated for social sciences graduate students, and advanced undergraduates, who plan to use satellite imagery as part of mixed-methods research projects.
