Environmental Remote Sensing

Environmental remote sensing involves using satellites or airborne sensors to collect data about Earth's surface and atmosphere without direct contact. This technology captures images and measures various properties—such as temperature, moisture, and vegetation health—across large areas. It helps scientists monitor environmental changes, manage natural resources, track climate patterns, and respond to natural disasters. By providing timely, accurate, and wide-ranging information, remote sensing supports informed decision-making for sustainable environmental management and protection.
