There is no more reliable way to know our planet’s environment than with the help of space-based technology. Remote sensing uses satellites, aircraft, and other technologies to collect data on Earth's atmosphere, oceans, land masses, and ice sheets. This post explores what remote sensing is all about and why it is an indispensable tool for understanding our natural environment today. It covers everything from NASA's use of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) to illustrate the Northern Canada wildfire in 2017 up through NASA's latest work on using LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) to monitor Greenland's ice sheet thickness!Learn More: www.techsavvymama. com The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is a U.S government agency under the supervision of the United States Department of Defense. In this article, we'll take a look at the remote sensing process NASA uses to monitor our planet's environment from space!Learn More: www.techsavvymama.com In simple terms, remote sensing works by collecting data from somewhere on Earth and then processing that information in order to create or improve our understanding of:Learn More: www.techsavvymama. comNASA's latest remote sensing project involves the use of LiDAR - Light Detection And Ranging. LiDAR is a type of technology that uses laser light to create highly accurate 3D digital models of Earth's surface. This allows scientists to collect highly accurate measurements of ice sheets, glaciers, coastlines, forests, and other parts of our planet.Learn More: www.techsavvymama.com Remote sensing has enabled scientists around the world to better understand our environment by providing better satellite images, access to weather data collected from airplanes, and higher resolution pictures collected by the astronauts living on the International Space Station (ISS). As a result of all this data collection, we have a much better understanding of the natural environment and how it has changed since the time of Galileo and Copernicus!Learn More: www.techsavvymama.com NEED MORE INFORMATION?
