Remote Sensing

Remote sensing is the science of acquiring information about an object or area from a distance, typically using satellite or aerial sensor technologies. This technique involves gathering data by measuring the electromagnetic energy reflected or emitted from the Earth’s surface and atmosphere. Remote sensing is widely used in various fields, including environmental monitoring, agriculture, forestry, land use planning, and disaster management. It enables the observation of large areas and the collection of data over time, which can be analyzed to detect changes, assess conditions, and inform decision-making. Remote sensing can utilize different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, including visible, infrared, and microwave wavelengths, to capture various surface features and phenomena.
