Benefits of Remote Sensing For Environmental Monitoring
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Remote sensing has emerged as a critical tool for environmental monitoring, providing comprehensive and timely data for various ecological and disaster-related applications. This review examines the diverse benefits of remote sensing in environmental observation, particularly in the domains of disaster monitoring, climate change assessment, forest area surveillance, and air quality management. The study highlights the role of remote sensing in tracking hydrometeorological disasters, global temperature variations, and extreme weather events, enabling proactive responses to climate-related challenges. Additionally, it explores its application in forest monitoring, including land and forest fire detection and biodiversity assessment. Furthermore, the review discusses how remote sensing contributes to air quality and health monitoring, specifically in detecting air pollution and identifying potential outbreaks of infectious diseases. By synthesizing recent advancements and case studies, this paper underscores the significance of remote sensing in supporting sustainable environmental management and disaster preparedness. Future research directions are proposed to enhance the accuracy, accessibility, and real-time application of remote sensing technologies
