"Seminars in remote sensing"@en . . "3.0" . "### Working language\n\nPortuguese and English\n\n### Goals\n\nThe objective of this UC is to provide students with a cycle of Lectures on various specialty topics that are not covered in the remaining UC of the CE. These Lectures are intended to be a training and didactic complement and will be delivered predominantly by specialists, either researchers (national or foreign who travel to Porto within the scope of projects. or collaborations with the CE teaching staff), or professionals from companies with activities linked to the DR. Former students of the Masters in Remote Sensing at FCUP, which operated between 2000 and 2007, whose activity is linked to DR, will also be invited, with the aim of transmitting their academic and professional experience to students.\n\n### Learning outcomes and skills\n\nAt the end of the UC, it is intended that students have broadened their knowledge to other domains of DR, contacted researchers and professionals with different experiences, broadened their critical and analytical sense, as well as their ability to carry out autonomous work.\n\n### Working mode\n\nIn person\n\n### Program\n\nSeminars on topics related to the Master's theme, which may be of a more scientific or more technical content, given predominantly by invited national or foreign specialists. Since the master's degree covers a wide range of applications, the possible topics are very wide and will naturally vary from one year to the next.\n\nExamples of possible topics:\n\n\\- Coastal bathymetry with lidar\n\n\\- Sensors on board unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and range of applications\n\n\\- Gravimetric Satellites\n\n\\- Innovative applications of integrated GNSSS/INS systems\n\n\\- Remote detection of vegetation\n\n\\- Remote detection of urban areas\n\n\\- etc.\n\n### Mandatory Bibliography\n\nD.

After the Lectures, students will be motivated to research one of the topics addressed, under the guidance of the UC professor and/or the specialist who presented the lecture.\n\nIn the “Other” classes, doubts will be answered about the topics covered and support will be given to carrying out individual work.\n \n\n### Type of evaluation\n\nEvaluation by final exam\n\n### Assessment Components\n\nOral test: 30.00%\nWritten work: 70.00%\n\n**Total:**: 100.00%\n\n### Occupation Components\n\nSelf-study: 35.00 hours\nFrequency of classes: 21.00 hours\nResearch work: 25.00 hours\n\n**Total:**: 81.00 hours\n\n### Get Frequency\n\nClass attendance is mandatory. Students may lose attendance if they exceed the number of absences provided by law.\n\n### Final classification calculation formula\n\nThe evaluation is done through an individual work, in article format, on a theme chosen from the list of themes of the various seminars presented. The assessment includes an oral presentation and discussion of the work.\n\nThe classification of the course is the grade of the work carried out with a weighting of 70% for the written work (T) and 30% for the oral discussion (O).\n\nCF=T \\*0.7 + O\\*0.3.\n\nMore information at: https://sigarra.up.pt/fcup/pt/ucurr_geral.ficha_uc_view?pv_ocorrencia_id=479388" . .

"The FCUP Master’s degree in Remote Sensing offers advanced training in Earth observation techniques, analysis and use of geospatial data acquired by sensors deployed on space-borne or aerial platforms. This Programme aims to equip students with skills on the fundamentals of Remote Sensing (RS), the application potential of the various sensors, acquisition techniques, data processing and analysis, and familiarization with various RS and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) data processing tools. Students are expected to be able to use this knowledge in the study of the planet and in solving problems in various fields of application. \nTo this end, the Programme was organised with a common core of curricular units addressing fundamental subjects and a set of optional units that aim to teach specific skills in applications for the study of the ocean, agriculture and forests, coastal zones, climate change, etc. \n\nVídeo de Apresentação: https://youtu.be/_JlMlgmp81U\n\n### Programme structure\n\nThe FCUP MSc in Remote Sensing is a two-year programme organised as follows \n\n* a first year corresponding to a study programme of a set of curricular units (60 ECTS);\n* a second year corresponding to a scientific dissertation or a professional internship with a final report (54 ECTS) plus a supporting curricular unit of 6 ECTS on scientific writing.\n\n### Schedule and teaching language\n\nThe Master's degree runs on a concentrated schedule predominantly on Friday afternoons and on Saturday mornings, attracting students from all over the country, including working students. It is also intended to attract students from other countries, and it is anticipated that classes may be taught in English. \n\n### Employment Prospects\n\nAs this is the only MSc of this type in Portugal, it will respond to the needs of specialized staff in Remote Sensing. The Masters in Remote Sensing will have unique competences to join public institutions or private companies of a technological nature, including space agencies (ESA, EUMETSAT, etc.), with activity in in areas related to the exploitation of Remote Sensing or GIS data, location-based services, thematic mapping, and many others involving the use of georeferenced data. \nIt is also expected that the graduates of this MSc will promote the technological development of the country through the creation of companies of a technological nature and some of them continue their studies for a PhD. \n\n### Entry requirements\n\n1.
