Remote sensing in geohazards

Remote sensing in geohazards involves using satellites or aircraft to gather data about the Earth's surface without direct contact. This technology helps scientists monitor natural hazards like earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, and floods by capturing images and measurements over large areas. It allows for early detection of changes and movements in the landscape, enabling quicker hazard assessment and better risk management. Remote sensing provides critical information to improve preparedness and response efforts, ultimately helping protect communities and infrastructure from potential disasters.
