GI3009 REMOTE SENSING AND GIS FOR EARTH SCIENCES L T P C
3 0 0 3
OBJECTIVE:
The objective of this course is to impart knowledge to the students about the
application potentials of Remote Sensing and GIS in earth science. The contents of this
course enable the students to understand the controls of Earth Science on the occurrence
and management of natural resources.
UNIT I REMOTE SENSING APPLICATIONS TO LITHOLOGY 9
Introduction - Lithological mapping using aerial photos and satellite imagery – theory and
practicals – Digital analysis for lithological discrimination.
67
UNIT II REMOTE SENSING APPLICATIONS TO GEOMORPHOLOGY 9
Introduction - Nature and type of different Landforms such as Structural,
Denudational, fluvial, Aeolian, glacial and volcanic landforms – their pattern
configuration. Mapping Geomorphic Landforms using satellite data - theory and
Practical
UNIT III REMOTE SENSING APPLICATIONS TO
STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS 9
Introduction - Different types and Geometry of folds, nature, mode of origin, and mode
of occurrence of faults. Structural analysis and mapping using aerial and satellite data,
theory and practicals – digital techniques for structural analysis.
UNIT IV SUB – SURFACE EXPLORATIONS 6
Different types of geophysical surveys, Electrical Resistivity surveys, aeromagnetic and
Electromagnetic surveys for subsurface explorations. Planning geophysical field surveys
using satellite data.
UNIT V REMOTE SENSING AND GIS APPLICATIONS IN
GEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS 12
Surface and Ground Water Resources - Hydrogeological mapping - Mineral
resources: Petroleum - Environmental Geology - Engineering Geological studies -
Disaster Management studies like Droughts, Floods, Landslides - Integrated surveys using
Geological, Geomorphological, Geophysical and Remote sensing based data for Mineral
exploration, Groundwater studies.
TOTAL: 45 PERIODS
