This document discusses remote sensing and the interactions of electromagnetic radiation with the atmosphere and Earth's surface. It covers three main topics:
1. How EM radiation interacts with particles and gases in the atmosphere through scattering, absorption, and transmission, attenuating the signal. The main types of scattering - Rayleigh, Mie, and non-selective - are described.
2. The three main atmospheric constituents that absorb radiation: ozone, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. Absorption windows where radiation can pass through are identified.
3. How radiation interacts with the Earth's surface through absorption, reflection, and transmission. The spectral reflectance curves of vegetation, soil, water, and rock are examined.
This is all about remote sensing. Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon without making physical contact with the object and thus in contrast to on-site observation, especially the Earth.Remote sensing is the process of detecting and monitoring the physical characteristics of an area by measuring its reflected and emitted radiation at a distance from the targeted area. Special cameras collect remotely sensed imagesof the Earth, which help researchers "sense" things about the Earth.

Late Modernism encompasses the overall production of most recent architecture made between the aftermath of World War II and the early years of the 21st century. The terminology often points to similarities between late modernism and post-modernism although there are differences.
Late Modernism, also known as High-tech architecture or Structural Expressionism, is an architectural style that emerged in the late 80s, this style became a bridge between modernism and postmodernism.
Architecture in which the images, ideas, and motifs of the Modern Movement were taken to extremes, structure, technology, and services being grossly over stated at a time when Modernism was being questioned.
In the year 1980s the high tech architecture started to look different from the post modern architecture. Many of the themes and ideas which originated during the post modern times were added to the high tech architecture.
Modern architecture is primarily driven by technological and engineering developments, and it is true that the availability o f new building materials such as iron, steel, and glass drove the invention of new building techniques as part of the Industrial Revolution.

Role of electromagnetic Radiation in Remote Sensing
It should be clear by now that the electromagnetic waves are originator and
carrier of information in Earth observation. The information content of the products delivered by a given type of sensor is essentially related to the parameters, mainly frequency (or wavelength) and polarization, characterizing the observing system, including the geometry at which data are acquired. Therefore, the specifications of an EO system, which include the type of sensor, the band of operation, the observation angle, etc.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Interactions of EM Radiation
with the Atmosphere

2. Interactions of EM Radiation with the Atmosphere
EMR interacts with particles and gases in the atmosphere.
Three processes serve to attenuate the signal we are trying to
detect
1. Scattering: Redirection of EMR from its original path
2. Absorption: Retention of EMR by molecules in the
atmosphere
3. Transmission: Passing of EMR through the atmosphere
3. Scattering
Scattering occurs when particles or large
gas molecules present in the
atmosphere interact with and cause the
electromagnetic radiation to be
redirected from its original path.
Scattering depends on several factors
including the
- Wavelength of the radiation,
- Abundance of particles or gases, and
- Distance the radiation travels through the
atmosphere.
For visible wavelengths, 100 % to 5 % of energy received by the
sensor is directly contributed by the atmosphere.
4. There are three types of scattering which take place:
Rayleigh scattering
Mie scattering and
Non-selective scattering
5. Rayleigh scattering
Diameter of particles << wavelength of EMR (small specks of dust
or N2 and O2)
Rayleigh scattering causes shorter wavelengths of energy to be
scattered much more than longer wavelengths.
Rayleigh scattering is the dominant scattering mechanism in the
upper atmosphere.
The fact that the sky appears "blue" during the day is because of
this phenomenon.
6. Mie scattering
Diameter of particles = wavelength of EMR (Dust, smoke and
water vapor)
Dust, smoke and water vapour are common causes of Mie
scattering which tends to affect longer wavelengths than those
affected by Rayleigh scattering.
Mie scattering occurs mostly in the lower portions of the
atmosphere.
7. Nonselective scattering
Diameter of particles >> wavelength of EMR (Water droplets and
large dust particles)
This occurs when the particles are much larger than the
wavelength of the radiation.
Water droplets and large dust particles can cause this type of
scattering.
8. Absorption is the other main mechanism when electromagnetic
radiation interacts with the atmosphere.
In contrast to scattering, this phenomenon causes molecules in
the atmosphere to absorb energy at various wavelengths.
Three main atmospheric constituents
which absorb radiation are
1. Ozone (O3)
2. Carbon dioxide (CO2)
3. Water vapor (H2O)
9. Absorption
Ozone absorbs the harmful (to most living things) ultraviolet
radiation from the sun.
Carbon dioxide absorbs radiation strongly in the far infrared
portion of the spectrum - that area associated with thermal
heating - which serves to trap this heat inside the atmosphere.
Water vapor in the atmosphere absorbs much of the incoming
long wave infrared and shortwave microwave radiation.
10. Absorption
Parts of the EM spectrum are heavily affected by scattering and
absorption and useless for remote sensing, other parts are less
affected and useful
11. Transmission
The remaining amount of energy after being absorbed and
scattered by the atmosphere is transmitted.
Atmospheric transmission expressed as percentage
12. Atmospheric Windows
It refers to the relatively transparent wavelength regions of the
atmosphere.
The wavelengths at which EMR are partially or wholly
transmitted through the atmosphere are known as
atmospheric windows.
Atmospheric windows Wavelength (m)
Upper UV – photographic IR
0.3 – 1(approx.)
Reflected IR
1.3, 1.6, 2.2
Thermal IR
3-5, 8-14
Microwave

14. Interactions of EM Radiation with the Earth’s Surface
Radiation that is not absorbed or scattered in the atmosphere can
reach and interact with the Earth's surface.
What will happen when the EM energy reaches the Earth surface?
The answer is that the total energy will be broken into three parts:
absorbed, reflected, and/or transmitted.
15. Interactions of EM Radiation with the Earth’s Surface
When electromagnetic energy is incident on any given earth
surface feature, three fundamental energy interactions are
possible. These are:
1. Absorption (A)
2. Reflection (R)
3. Transmission (T)
The proportions of each will depend on the
- wavelength of the energy,
- angle at which the radiation intersects with the surface and
- roughness of the material and condition of the feature.
16. Interactions of EM Radiation with the Earth’s Surface
Reflection
Two types of reflection, which represent the two extreme ends of
the way in which energy is reflected from a target are:
1. Specular reflection
2. Diffuse reflection.
17. Interactions of EM Radiation with the Earth’s Surface
Specular or mirror like reflection, typically
occurs when surface is smooth and all (or
almost all) of the energy is directed away
from the surface in a single direction.
18. Interactions of EM Radiation with the Earth’s Surface
Diffuse or Lambertian reflection
occurs when the surface is rough
and the energy is reflected almost
uniformly in all directions.
19. Interactions of EM Radiation with the Earth’s Surface
Whether a particular target reflects specularly or diffusely, or
somewhere in between, depends on the surface roughness of the
feature in comparison to the wavelength of the incoming radiation.
If the wavelengths are much smaller than the surface variations or
the particle sizes that make up the surface, diffuse reflection will
dominate.
For example, fine-grained sand would appear fairly smooth to long
wavelength microwaves but would appear quite rough to the
visible wavelengths
20. Spectral Reflectance Curve
The reflectance characteristics of earth surface
feature may be quantified by measuring the
portion of incident energy (Irradiance) that is
reflected (Radiance).
This energy is measured as a function of
wavelength and is called spectral reflectance. It
is defined as:
Reflectance Rs
I
Reflectance ranges from 0 to 1 or 0 to 100%. Equipment to
measure reflectance is called spectrometer
A graph of spectral reflectance as a function of wavelength is
termed as spectral reflectance curve
21. Spectral Reflectance of Healthy Vegetation
Vegetation: A chemical compound
in leaves called chlorophyll strongly
absorbs radiation in the red and
blue wavelengths but reflects green
wavelengths.
The internal structure of healthy
leaves act as excellent diffuse
reflectors of near-infrared
wavelengths.
23. Spectral Reflectance of Bare Soil
The surface reflectance from bare soil depends on many
factors such as color, moisture content, presence of carbonate
and iron oxide content.
24. Spectral Reflectance of Water
Water: Longer visible wavelength
and near infrared radiation is
absorbed more by water than
shorter visible wavelengths.
Water typically looks blue or blue-green due to stronger
reflectance at these shorter wavelengths, and darker if
viewed at red or near infrared wavelengths.
25. Spectral Reflectance of Water
Compared to vegetation and soils water has lower reflectance.
Vegetation may reflect up to 50%, soils up to 30-40% while water
reflect at most 10% of the incoming radiation.
