The course will also allow to the students knowledge in Remote Sensing and Digital Image Processing.

The specific contribution of the Naval School and of the Faculty of Sciences od the University of Lisbon is determinant, not only in their specific areas of knowledge, but also in the way the different areas are taught and convened to the students, allowing an integrated perspective of matter related to the Maritime Navigation and to the monitoring of the oceans trough the Geomatics capabilities.
