Educational Resources

Over the past decade, CCRS has developed several comprehensive sets of remote sensing training materials.  Tutorials are available on a variety of topics including the fundamentals of remote sensing, radar remote sensing, polarimetry and satellite data reception.  These materials are available in English and French and in some cases, also in Spanish and Portuguese.

The material was developed by scientists at CCRS, with significant contributions from specialists of different disciplines, and sometimes input from scientists and user agencies in other countries.
