Course description

*) Knowledge and understanding: the student must demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the fundamental principles of Radar Remote Sensing. *) Ability to apply knowledge and understanding: the student must demonstrate to be able to solve problems of low and medium complexity of Radar remote sensing.
*) Autonomy of judgment: the student must be able to develop the ability to critically analyze the different problems with particular reference to case studies different from those proposed during the course.
*) Communication skills: The student must have the ability to clearly and simply express technical concepts and to use scientific language correctly.
*) Learning skills: The student must be able to integrate and update knowledge using different sources.
