23-hour course.

Introduction to spectroradiometry to study soil as the basis of terrestrial ecosystems.

Physical and chemical soil properties of interest in detecting changes.

Spectral interpretation applied to soil properties and identification of soil components (minerals).

Multi-scale spectroradiometry: satellite, airborne and ground tools.

Soil spectral measurements: standards and protocols.

Practices for taking spectral measurements in the field and laboratory with spectroradiometers and hyperspectral camera.

Generation of spectral libraries as reference databases.

Application of Machine Learning to extract information from spectral data, learning the correlations between soil compositions and spectral absorption characteristics.

Spectral processing and spatial distribution of soil properties and their associated land cover, applied to the study of soil degradation.
