Aha! Ah well - I hope your demonstration to management was successful. All I can say is don't you dare get rid of the site ;-) It's been extremely useful to me in teaching remote sensing over the past few years. Particularly here at Birkbeck College, where all our students are part time. They are often mature students with jobs and families and can't always make all lecture or practicals, or have convenient access to library facilities - so having a range of teaching material available on the web has proved has a huge benefit to them, as it allows them to keep up from home (or their workplace).

Cheers,

Mathias

That’s a great tutorial! I posted the link. Thanks!

Dear Sir,

your remote sensing tutorial was very helpful. I am an "older student", and during classes I'm often occupied with the basics. But your tutorial helped me for a broader understanding. For me it is an ideal mix of
- interesting pictures that make good examples
- background explanations and
- questions for selftesting.

It is very clear structured, this further enhances the understanding of the wide spectre of RS and the possible applications

From: "Richard Edwards" <riched@Exchange.Microsoft.com>

Hi, I just want to say THANKS for the excellent RST pages. I've enjoyed playing around with ETM imagery to compare with old maps and aerial photos of my favorite valley in the North Cascades. But interpreting the ETM images has been difficult (I wasn't born with IR and UV sensitivity...). I'm just a very interested amateur, and much of the literature on the subject has been more of a challenge than I'm up for.
I've found the RST pages just fascinating, well written, and thought provoking. The "aha!"-per-page ratio is extremely high. Thanks for your help making sense of it and making the pretty pictures talk! I've found the RST pages just fascinating, well written, and thought provoking.

"The Remote Sensing Tutorial helps make NASA data understandable to the public. The data belong to the public since, after all, their tax dollars have paid for NASA's remote sensing research since the early 1970's. Once the data is available and understandable, the public will use it." - Dr. Jon Robinson (HSTX).

The Remote Sensing Tutorial is an over-100-page, World Wide Web (WWW), college-level tutorial produced by Dr. Nick Short, Sr. (retired) and Dr. Jon Robinson (HSTX) and sponsored by the Applied Information Science Branch of GSFC's Earth and Space Data Computing Division. The tutorial explains how remote sensing is applied in studying Earth's environment. The tutorial describes past uses of aerial photography and space imagery as methods of recording Earth's geography. It also covers future plans for more-advanced monitoring systems. Through the tutorial, users develop skills in analyzing satellite images and aerial photographs and in interpreting results of computer processed images.

The project began as The Landsat Tutorial Workbook: Basics of Satellite Remote Sensing, written by Nick Short Sr. in 1982 (NASA Ref. Publication 1078). Dr. Short and Dr. Robinson have been collaborating for almost 2 years to post a version of the workbook to the WWW in a manner that takes advantage of the WWW's interactivity. Posting the workbook to the Internet is cost-effective for NASA, since the site contains many color-intensive graphics that would be expensive to reproduce in print. The authors consider the WWW tutorial to be a living, organic document that will grow and change as remote sensing technology evolves, and as ways of presenting information on the WWW improve.

The Remote Sensing Tutorial instructs through a series of short sections, each focused on one or more relevant topics. These sections are accompanied by discussions and progress into hands-on interactive instruction. Each section concentrates on a local or regional area or on a topical theme. Several "standard" space images are usually the focal points of a section, with computer-based processing renditions, ground photos, and descriptive maps providing added details where appropriate.

The tutorial begins by introducing the principles of physics (especially electromagnetic radiation) underlying remote sensing, then considers the main kinds of observing platforms in use, and closes with a recounting of the history of satellite systems with an accent on LANDSAT. The first section introduces most of the major concepts behind image analysis and interpretation by "walking" the user through product types and processing output in common use. The next eight sections treat specific applications and introduce SPOT, the French satellite system.

A comprehensive summary (soon to be on-line) of the main achievements in the exploration of the Solar System is offered in Section 19, "Planetary Remote Sensing." This centerpiece of the U.S. and Russian space programs relies heavily on remote sensing techniques. Section 19 examines in-depth what scientists have learned about these fascinating worlds - planets, satellites, and asteroids. A survey of basic ideas underlying astronomy and cosmology is also in this section.

The tutorial includes links to relevant sources of information on remote sensing, including Federal and international programs as well as educational and commercial organizations that provide training and services.

To present elaborate instruction suitable for the topic of remote sensing, the site includes large and color-intensive graphics that are designed for loading with higher-end bandwidth Internet connections. Although the pictures are an integral part of the tutorial, users with lower-end bandwidth can choose not to load the pictures, and they will still benefit from the instructional text. Users from other countries have requested mirror sites to speed download.

According to browser statistics, this heavily accessed site has had traffic from over 50 countries, including Croatia, Colombia, Indonesia, Malta, France, Russian Federation, Israel, S. Africa, and S. Korea, as well as from numerous nonprofit institutions. Fifteen percent of the tutorial bytes downloaded were from educational institutions.

The Remote Sensing Tutorial

The Applied Information Sciences Branch at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) sponsors The Remote Sensing Tutorial Website. This Website teaches visitors how remote sensing is "applied to studying the land, sea, and air making up the environments of our planet and helps to develop skills in interpreting aerial photography and space imagery by direct inspection and by computer processing." The tutorial is organized into an overview, introduction, glossary and twenty different sections, each focused on one or more relevant topics. Examples of topics discussed are Radar and Microwave Remote Sensing, Urban and Land Use Applications, and Mineral and Oil Resource Exploration, among others. Each section presents space images, classifications, maps, and plots along with descriptions and discussions to help in interpreting the concepts that the graphics represent.

NASA's Remote Sensing Tutorial:

If you have heard the term "remote sensing" before you may have asked, "what does it mean?" It's a rather simple, familiar activity that we all do as a matter of daily life, but that gets complicated when we increase the scale. As you view the screen of your computer monitor, you are actively engaged in remote sensing.
