Remote Sensing & Geoinformatics

Remote Sensing & Geoinformatics is the use of spatial technologies to collect and analyze data from the Earth’s surface. This data is used to gain insight into a range of environmental, economic, and public health issues, helping us better understand our planet and make informed decisions. Benefits include monitoring of resources such as water, land-use, forests, and land-cover, more efficient urban planning and infrastructure management, increased safety and accuracy of emergency response, and enhanced understanding of current and changing environmental conditions. Remote sensing & geoinformatics technologies are used in a variety of applications including climate change and global monitoring, land use and land cover change, natural hazard assessment, crop monitoring, and urban growth.
