Rahul Chopra,
FLAME University, Pune
Prof. Rahul Chopra is the Chair of the Centre for Earth and Environment and Associate Professor in Earth and Environmental Studies at FLAME University, Pune. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. His research interests are multidisciplinary and include the use of satellite derived remotely sensed and in-situ data to evaluate our changing environment; field based geological and environmental studies, and the use of high resolution chemical analyses instruments and data to study various earth and environmental processes. Additionally, he is also interested in developing programs, curriculum, and teaching resources in Environmental Sciences and Studies. |

| Abstract | This talk provides an introduction to the principles and applications of remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). It focuses on methods of data acquisition and data processing of satellite based remotely sensed data and applications in various fields. It will include an overview of different remote sensing platforms and sensors, sources of satellite data, techniques and methods of satellite data analyses to assess change including image pre-processing, multi-spectral image analyses including unsupervised and supervised classification using various algorithms, topographic and hydrologic modelling using digital elevation models. Participants will also be introduced to different open source GIS software and sources of open access satellite data. |
