Specialization part of remote sensing course, about 2 hours:

Image Analysis for natural fractures, fracture traces, and lineaments

Attendees to this one to two hour presentation will learn:

Significance for Sitting of Water Supply Wells
Nomenclature of Fractures, Fracture Traces, and Lineaments
Techniques of Analysis and Mapping of Fractures, Fracture Traces, and Lineaments
Open Source GIS (QGIS) Analysis and Mapping of Fractures, Fracture Traces, and Lineaments

Each attendee will receive copy of published foundational professional papers for future reference. Instructor is available following the course for questions. The ultimate goal of this course is that each attendee is successful in the application of scientific concepts and operational protocols taught.
