The nature of projects may vary substantially, for example: review of existing literature, demonstration of image-processing techniques, or analysis of remotely sensed datasets. Subject matter is open to any topic or geographic region, as approved by the instructor.
Projects will be presented to the class toward the end of the semester and may be given in the form of web pages or posters.
