Remote Sensing Science

Remote sensing science involves collecting information about the Earth's surface from a distance, typically using satellites or aircraft equipped with specialized sensors. These sensors detect signals like light, heat, or other energy reflected or emitted by objects on the ground. By analyzing this data, scientists can monitor land use, weather patterns, environmental changes, and natural resources without direct contact. It’s a powerful tool for understanding our planet’s dynamics, helping in disaster management, agriculture, climate studies, and urban planning, all while observing large or inaccessible areas efficiently and accurately.
