Definition

  • Remote sensing (RS) of Earth's environment using airborne and satellite-borne sensors has greatly improved our ability to describe and measure the characteristics of Earth's atmosphere, oceans, land surfaces, and dynamic processes over time and space. Products derived through remote sensing enhance our geographical understanding of the environment and how humans interact with and/or affect the environment.
