Remote Sensing, formerly known as "From a Distance" (formerly known as "Roads Scholar") is an event that involves the interpretation of aerial photographs, topographic maps, satellite imagery, planimetric maps, radar imagery, and or public records to solve problems relating to natural resources, planning, engineering, and earth science.
Using a combination of these remote sensing products, participants will attempt to identify geologic features, explain physical and human phenomena, and analyze the impact of human and natural activities on the physical environment. Students will be asked to relate a local area or regional physical environment to its cultural landscape.
