  I think that in order to become more at ease with remote sensing, one must have strong bases in physics because it's mostly derived from that field. Depending on the type of sensor used, people should search in Optics, Electromagnetism and some Fluid Mechanics (for Sonar). Although applications are important, the theoritical base must not be neglected!

    I'm not so sure about that. As a user of RS data, having a background in optics etc would not really be that useful.

    Think about it, why would a biologist need to know any optical theory to use RS data? They'd just need to know what the data are representing. Knowing the basics of the EM spectrum would be handy, but beyond that I don't see a need.
