Science Tracer Bullets Online: Remote Sensing
"This guide focuses on the technologies used for observation and data collection from a significant distance; satellite remote-sensing and imaging of the earth and other celestial objects. Major fields within which remotely sensed data are most frequently used include agriculture, archaeology, astronomy, climatology, engineering, environmental science, forestry, geology, hydrology, meteorology, oceanography, and soil science. Also inextricably linked with remote sensing are the disciplines of cartography, geographic information systems (GIS), surveying, and geodesy. Remote sensing is used in surveillance of human activities for everyday security purposes, as well as in biology and medicine. Some resources on these related topics are included."
