Piper, Department <strong>of</strong> Surveying andMapping, University <strong>of</strong> Natal, King George V Avenue, 4001, Durban.Academic and Scientific Programs:• Area(s) <strong>of</strong> specialization: remote sensing, satellite communications, and satellitemeteorology.• Summary <strong>of</strong> courses and research activities:Courses: an introductory course in remote sensing is <strong>of</strong>fered annually, usually at <strong>the</strong>University <strong>of</strong> Natal or, alternatively, at <strong>the</strong> University <strong>of</strong> Cape Town. The course coversbasic principles <strong>of</strong> remote sensing, with an emphasis on satellite data and digital imageprocessing. No formal courses in satellite meteorology are <strong>of</strong>fered. However, <strong>the</strong> SouthAfrican Wea<strong>the</strong>r Bureau conducts in-house training on <strong>the</strong> applications <strong>of</strong> satellitemeteorology.• Research: remote sensing projects are funded in <strong>the</strong> following fields: agriculture, forestry,hydrology, land cover mapping, natural vegetation, geosciences, oceanography, dataprocessing techniques and algorithm development. Projects in satellite meteorology arecarried out by <strong>the</strong> South African Wea<strong>the</strong>r Bureau and certain divisions <strong>of</strong> CSIR. Climatevariability over Sou<strong>the</strong>rn Africa and <strong>the</strong> behaviour <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Agulhas Current.Duration/Frequency/Language(s) <strong>of</strong> instruction: Variable/Annually/English.• Facilities: direct reception <strong>of</strong> LANDSAT data, image-processing facilities available atvarious CSIR Institutes: Satellite Remote Sensing Centre, National Physical ResearchLaboratory, National Institute for Informatics and National Research Institute forOceanology. The Division <strong>of</strong> Microelectronics and Communications Technologyoperates <strong>the</strong> Satellite Applications Centre. This facility receives, records and archivesmeteorological data from geostationary and polar orbiting meteorological spacecraft.Advanced image processing facilities are available for radiometric and geometricmanipulation <strong>of</strong> meteorological data. In addition, image-processing facilities exist in anumber <strong>of</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r CSIR divisions.• Number <strong>of</strong> trainees: depends on programme.Entry requirements: B.Sc, M.Sc. or appropriate experience.Degree/Diploma/Certificate awarded: None.Geographical preference: Sou<strong>the</strong>rn Africa.76
