Assignment Task:
Project Overview: With the use of your knowledge in Remote Sensing and your lab exercise, students will create theoretical basis for applying Remote Sensing to a specific problem domain in order to provide framework for its application to provide a solution to a real world problem.
Learning Outcomes:
1. Explain the Remote Sensing perspective and discuss why Earth Science applications are fundamental to understanding our environment.
2. Obtain information, organize knowledge, analyze problems similar to your activity, synthesis of various knowledge sources, representation of different research findings, interpretation of different images, communicate findings and, and evaluate study objectives using Remote Sensing.
3. Demonstrate an understanding of how environmental, or Earth Science problems can be solved by Remote Sensing technology.
Activity Description: Student will use Remote Sensing literature to produce Activity Report based on basic theoretical research by addressing the application of Remote Sensing in Earth Science and how it can be used to save the environment through this application. The topics of the project can be in the following:
1- Applications of Remote Sensing in Geology
2- Applications of Remote Sensing in Vegetation Monitoring
3- Applications of Remote Sensing in Mining
4- Applications of Remote Sensing in Natural Hazards Mapping

Overview - The Activity Report is a scientific in nature, as oppose to opinionated. This means that your problem statement, methodology, analysis must be clear and citation out of reasonably reputable sources, and any tables and figures will provide the evidence for your conclusion.
1. Title: Eye-catching and informative titles are specific and should characterize the main theme of your activity. Is this section free of grammar and spelling errors?
2. Introduction & Motivation: Set the stage for the questions you are asking and give an overview of why you are doing this research. Describe the context of your project (i.e. observations that led you to the project or other relevant information) and present general description of your site. Is this section free of grammar and spelling errors?
3. Literature review and citations: If any of your methods are drawn from prior work, published protocols or instructions, you should cite the sources using a standard citation format. Is this section free of grammar and spelling errors?
4. Problem Statement (Spatial Questions & Goals): State the specific spatial question you tried to answer in your Activity, and what you did with this information? Include your problem statement here. List your objectives, which maybe educational or scientific or a combination. Is this section free of grammar and spelling errors?
5. Methods: Describe specifically what you did to accomplish your research goals. List the specific the analysis methods and other relevant information. Is this section free of grammar and spelling errors?
6. Results: Show what you came up with. This is most effectively done using maps, tables and graphics (e.g., use pie or bar graphs), with brief summaries in text. Four maps and two tables and/or graphics are required. Don't explain or interpret anything here, just show what happened in a way that can be read easily. All figures and tables should have a caption that makes the figure self-explanatory. Is this section free of grammar and spelling errors?
7. Discussion: What do your results say in terms of your original questions? How confident are you in your findings? What are some possible explanations for results that didn't come out as you expected? Were there any surprises? Is this section free of grammar and spelling errors? In this section, you can reference reputable sources.
8. Implications, conclusions and possible future work: What implications do these findings have in terms of your objectives? What new questions do they raise? What could be tried next? What is the social, cultural, scientific or educational relevance of your findings? Is this section free of grammar and spelling errors?
