Remote Sensing Applications

Remote sensing involves gathering information about the Earth's surface from a distance, typically using satellites or aircraft. Its applications are vast and include monitoring climate change, managing natural resources, and disaster response. For instance, it can help track deforestation, assess damage from natural disasters like floods and earthquakes, and monitor crop health in agriculture. By analyzing images and data collected remotely, we can make informed decisions that benefit the environment, public safety, and urban planning, enhancing our understanding and management of the planet.
