COC 825 - Remote Sensing Applied to Hydrology

Objetivos

The course, which will be taught in English, introduces the fundamentals of modeling and simulation in water resources with a focus on construction and use of  rainfall-runoff models. These models are important tools in the process of water resources management and environmental management process in river basins. From this framework, the course introduces the fundamentals of remote sensing in order to apply in the area of water resources.
