Beaver Works Summer Institute Remote Sensing For Disaster Response 2026

Remote Sensing For Disaster Response 2026 is a self-paced online course from Beaver Works Summer Institute that introduces students to the basics of remote sensing and how these tools can be used in disaster response and recovery. It is designed as an exploratory pre-course, helping students understand the field and decide whether they would like to apply for the full BWSI Remote Sensing in Disaster Response course in the summer.

Across the course, students explore the relationship between remote sensing and emergency management, building a foundation in how data and sensing technologies support disaster-related decision-making. By the end, learners should understand basic remote sensing principles and how emergency management works during disasters, alongside the growing work at the intersection of these two areas.
