Remote sensing applications

General information on the area:
Remote sensing applications use satellite or drone imagery to collect data on the Earth's surface, enabling scientists to monitor and analyze environmental changes in real-time. This technology is particularly useful for tracking deforestation, changes in land use, coastal erosion, habitat loss, and the health of ecosystems like forests, wetlands, and coral reefs. Remote sensing supports biodiversity conservation, ecosystem management, and climate change adaptation by providing high-resolution data that informs decision-making processes. It also plays a crucial role in disaster management, allowing authorities to assess damage and coordinate timely responses to natural disasters.
