Introduction to the course
It is the follow up to our previous course, ‘Endangered Archaeology: Using Remote Sensing to Protect Cultural Heritage’, which introduced the basics of satellite remote sensing using Google Earth Pro, focusing on the use of satellite imagery to study and assess archaeological sites and monitor their condition. You should complete that course prior to studying this one, as it introduces essential concepts and methods. It is free and available in English, French, Arabic, or Farsi.
