Earth Observation

Earth Observation refers to the gathering, processing, and analysis of information about the Earth’s physical, chemical, and biological systems through remote sensing technologies. This is typically achieved using satellites, aircraft, and other platforms, which capture data across various wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. Earth Observation enables the monitoring of environmental conditions, natural resources, and human activities. It plays a critical role in applications such as weather forecasting, climate change studies, disaster management, land-use planning, and resource management. The data collected can help inform decision-making processes, support research, and contribute to sustainable development efforts by providing insights into changes occurring on the planet.
