Specific introduction of remote sensing specialty in the United States

Specific introduction of remote sensing specialty in the United States. Let's have a look.

Remote sensing science and technology is a new frontier subject developed on the basis of cross-infiltration and mutual integration of surveying and mapping science, space science, electronic science, earth science and computer science. Let me share with you the recommendation, employment prospects and application of famous remote sensing schools in the United States.

1. Recommended by famous American remote sensing schools.

American universities have no special remote sensing major. Generally speaking, it is geography, environment, earth science or electronic engineering, with different emphases: ocean, atmosphere, geography and so on. Applying for graduate students in the United States will have a corresponding direction of remote sensing, but most of them will be classified as sensitive majors when applying for visas, and most of them will have a check-up procedure.

Recommended institutions for undergraduate courses:

University of Washington: atmospheric science, earth and space science

University of Miami: Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences

Institute of Marine Earth, University of Delaware

Michigan State University: Geophysics

Oregon State University, Earth Science, Environmental Engineering.

Master's recommended institutions:

Duke University

Georgia Institute of Technology

louisiana state university,baton rouge

University of Maryland at Park

University of California, Santa Barbara

Colorado State University

Oregon State University

Cornell University

Boston University Boston University

Second, the employment prospect and application of remote sensing in the United States

After graduation, I can work in government departments at all levels, scientific research institutions, planning and design departments, IT companies, enterprises and other cities and regions in planning, construction, resources, environment, land, tourism, military, water conservancy, communications, aviation, aerospace and other fields, and engage in related management, scientific research, teaching, technology development and application, with a relatively high employment starting point.

Professional application of remote sensing;

1, PM2.5 observation

Take the smog control work that is currently the most concerned. Since 20 1 365438+1October1,PM2.5 monitoring has been carried out in more than 70 cities in China. At the same time, satellite remote sensing technology has been used to monitor the influence range of haze from the air.

2, for disaster prevention and mitigation

Remote sensing satellites can be used for emergency monitoring of various disasters and information support for emergency rescue and disaster relief, such as earthquakes, volcanic activities, soil and dust disasters. On August 3, 20 14, after the Ludian earthquake in Yunnan province, the state mobilized domestic and foreign 18 remote sensing satellites to image the earthquake-stricken area urgently, and obtained nearly 100 scenes of satellite image data in Ludian earthquake area, which played a great role in earthquake relief.

3. Resource survey

Satellite remote sensing technology can be used to survey the earth's resources, such as water, oil, natural gas, coal and metal mineral reserves. August 20 14, China successfully sent Remote Sensing 20 satellite into space at Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. It is mainly used for scientific experiments, land and resources investigation, crop yield estimation and disaster prevention and reduction.

4, weather forecast, grasp the sea surface temperature, ocean information.

If there is no meteorological satellite, we can't comprehensively monitor the atmospheric composition and make a good weather forecast; If there were no ocean satellites, it would be difficult for us to solve problems such as red tides. Without land remote sensing satellites, we can't effectively monitor the changes of forests and deserts.

5. Archaeological research

Remote sensing technology has been applied more and more in archaeological work in China. In the archaeological work of many ancient sites, such as Beiting Ancient City and Gaochang Ancient City in Xinjiang, Chang 'an City in Shaanxi, Luoyang Ancient City in Henan and Yinxu in Anyang, the image data obtained by remote sensing technology has provided a lot of useful help for scholars to discover the phenomenon of sites, find out the scope and connotation of sites, and understand the preservation status of sites in past lives.

6, crop yield forecast

Satellite remote sensing technology can grasp the global distribution of cultivated land, monitor the growth and yield estimation of bulk crops. The application of remote sensing technology has greatly changed the way of obtaining agricultural statistical data. Using remote sensing technology, the grain planting area of a region can be clearly seen on satellite photos, which greatly improves the accuracy of the data.

7. Military

The application of remote sensing in military science is obvious, because the target can be observed from a distance and relatively macro analysis data can be obtained. Militarily, remote sensing can monitor the resource status of target countries and regions. Monitor each other's military deployment and large-scale military operations. In specific operations, remote sensing can help to analyze the local terrain and resources, thus helping to judge their own tactical action plans.

The recommendation, employment and application of American Institute of Remote Sensing are introduced here, hoping to help the applicants.
