Remote Sensing -- GEOG526
This class is in VERY rough shape and was transferred to this website so that eventually I can get around to formatting it into a workable class. Don’t expect to find much of worth here for a while yet.

Hello all!
My name is Jim Coll and I am your instructor for the semester. A few notes for you pertain to how I run this course. Although the KU blackboard site will be the “official” site for this class and the place you submit all work to, I use this site here for the benefit of all and my own selfish desire to streamline my digital footprint. I will keep both sites as identical as possible when double posting material (e.g. the syllabus and course schedule), but in case of a conflict treat this version as the most recent. Use the navigation table to the left to find the syllabus, labs, and other documents. I have made myself as available to you as I can so feel free to find me via:
- Class slack channel
- Cornering me in the hallway
Below you’ll find the course outline and slides as appropriate. I look forward to an exciting, productive, and stimulating semester with you all.
Best,
Jim
