Overview
Key facts
You will explore the principles of remote sensing applications for monitoring disaster resilience. The course draws upon insight and case studies, gained under the Belmont Forum project titled Theory of Change Observatory on Disaster Resilience (TOCO_DR) project, that address challenges posed by the broader risks of climate change but more specifically those of drought and flood risk.
Cranfield University's Remote Sensing Applications for Monitoring Disaster Resilience programme will teach you more about this topic.
