Bio-optical remote sensing

Bio-optical remote sensing is a method that uses light sensors, often on satellites or drones, to study the biological components of Earth’s surface, particularly in oceans and lakes. By analyzing how different wavelengths of light are absorbed or reflected by water and organisms, scientists can gather valuable information about water quality, chlorophyll levels, and even the health of aquatic ecosystems. This technique helps monitor environmental changes, track climate impacts, and support conservation efforts, allowing us to understand and manage our natural resources more effectively.
