Notes:
Remote sensing not only used in defense, but also in environmental monitoring. Illegal logging is quite difficult to spot from the ground since these loggers cut trees here and there, which cannot be seen from the ground. However, from space, these can be
Images from space can show invisible ozone layers which protect the earth from harmful solar radiation. By using remote sensing technologies, the extent of these ozone holes can be monitored.
Other environmental remote sensing applications also include vegetation and crop stresses and water quality monitoring.
