Earth observation techniques
Earth observation techniques involve collecting data about our planet using satellites, aircraft, and drones equipped with sensors. These sensors detect various signals like visible light, infrared, and radar, capturing images and measurements of land, water, and atmosphere. This information helps monitor environmental changes, natural disasters, climate patterns, and resource management. By analyzing the data, scientists and policymakers can better understand Earth's health, track deforestation, urban growth, or rising sea levels, enabling informed decisions to protect and sustainably manage our planet.
