This video was created for the University of Edinburgh honours course "Remote Sensing and Global Climate Change" as part of the School of Geoscience and the Institute of Geography. It is intended to give an outline of the processes surrounding the Earth's surface albedo, and the role that satellite remote sensing can fill, using NASA's MODIS instrument as a case study. All information provided is taken from peer reviewed, academic literature, and all animations and images are referenced correctly.

cheers.

video is fast i agree. probably just me trying to fit too much in to the time span.

how much detail should i go into for the results?

in my essay i've got actual figures and percentages, along with some graphs and maps used in the examples i discussed.

i hope this is ok?

finding it quite difficult to keep the word count down.

OK. Good use of the medium. Great topic. Video very fast though -- not much time to absorb the info. Did you notice the Earth was spinning the "wrong" way? Liked your use of video. Very much on the right track. Make sure you discuss the results in some detail in the project.
