Understanding its abundance, quality, distribution, and variability remains a priority for both scientific research and societal needs. The rapid advancement of remote sensing, techniques for acquiring information without direct physical contact, has enabled both historical and real-time measurement of various hydrological parameters with unprecedented accuracy and spatial resolution. This advanced, 3-credit-hour course is designed to: <br>(1) enhance students' knowledge of remote sensing and its applications in water resource studies, <br>(2) introduce the latest advancements and trends in hydrological remote sensing, <br>(3) develop students' scientific insight and practical problem-solving skills in water resource studies, and <br>(4) support students' research in water resources and related fields. <br>Topics covered in the course include: <br>(1) reviews of fundamental surface hydrology and hydraulics, <br>(2) key remote sensing techniques, including optical, radar, LiDAR, gravimetric, and sonar methods, and <br>(3) measurement of diverse hydrological parameters, such as water area, level, gradient, depth, bathymetry, mass, and discharge, and <br>(4) integrated approaches to water resource studies.
