Imagery and Remote Sensing

Imagery and remote sensing involve capturing information about the Earth's surface without direct contact. Using satellites, airplanes, or drones equipped with special cameras and sensors, scientists can observe and analyze features like landforms, vegetation, water bodies, and urban areas. These methods help monitor environmental changes, manage resources, and support disaster response. Remote sensing provides a bird's-eye view, enabling large-scale and frequent observations that are difficult to obtain through ground surveys alone. This technology is essential for understanding our planet's physical characteristics and tracking ongoing environmental and climate-related processes.
