Data Bytes - Remote Sensing with Satellites

Remote sensing is the process of acquiring the physical characteristics of an object, area or a phenomenon without physical contact. This process is used generally to assess the changes on Earth and other planets. Increase in anthropogenic interactions with Earth’s land and other natural resources makes remote sensing methods important in the fields of Earth, agricultural and environmental sciences. This workshop aims to provide a brief introduction on remote sensing using satellites, followed by a hands-on session that involves using satellite imagery to assess the changes in agricultural land use.
