Know the basic theoretical foundations of the remote sensing process and the processing, analysis and interpretation techniques of satellite images. Ability to carry out mapping, obtaining information from satellite images in those aspects related to forest fires. Knowledge of the thematic layers necessary for management in the restoration of burned areas and fire simulators.
Basic contents included in the programme documentation:
- Fundamentals of remote sensing.
- Corrections and digital treatments of the image.
- Extraction and analysis of information.
- Fire detection and monitoring.
- Fuel mapping, risk maps and burned surfaces.
- Monitoring the regeneration of large burned areas.
- Monitoring the degree of humidity of living vegetation.
- Application of Geographic Information Systems for management in the restoration of large burned areas.
- Obtaining thematic layers for use in fire simulators.
These basic contents are developed along the course duration following the following structure of theoretical lessons:
And the following list of practical sessions using Google Earth Engine:

Theoretical and practical sessions will be complemented by:
Assessment of students’ performance will be based on two components:
A minimum of 5 points out of 10 will be required for a passing grade. There will be no minimum required grade in each of the two components. The criteria and requirements will be the same in 1st and 2nd opportunities. Students enrolled for a second time in the course can ask for the grade of one of the elements to be kept.
Students exempt of attendance to classes will follow the same assessment system.
The USC Norm for Assessment of Academic Performance will be automatically applied if fraud or fabrication of assessment materials is detected.
This course includes 9 hours of theoretical lectures, 12 hours of practical lectures, and implies around 54 hours of personal work.
It is advisable that students have access to a personal computer in order to install the software applications used in class.
