growth in healthy forests. The conditions and outcome of logged forests in the Brazilian Amazon is associated with widespread high-resolution satellites where studies have demonstrated that forest damage was caused by logging operations. Many remote sensing techniques are being used to perceive these harmful effects. These forests are at risk to high levels of canopy damage‚ making them sensitive to drought and fire. These operations create a high chance of deforestation before sufficient recovery

Satellite imagery The first images from space were taken on the sub-orbital V-2 rocket flight launched by the U.S. on October 24‚ 1946. Satellite imagery consists of images of Earth or other planets collected by artificial satellites. History[edit] The satellite images were made from pixels. The first crude image taken by the satellite Explorer 6 shows a sunlit area of the Central Pacific Ocean and its cloud cover. The photo was taken when the satellite was about 17‚000 mi (27‚000

After viewing my different geography careers‚ I had stumbled upon one which looked very intriguing. There were multiple job openings for Remote Sensing data Scientist‚ which I found an interest in. The duties and responsibilities that come with this job include conduction basic and applied research in remote sensing data science‚ among other tests and data collecting. Although the tasks are not very physically taxing‚ it can be quite complex research‚ experiments‚ and data collection. With the

impressive progress in this field. Space technology has not only enhanced India’s communication capabilities‚ but has also contributed in meteorological forecasting‚ providing advanced disaster warning‚ search and rescue measures and distance education to remote areas. At the outset‚ one might ask "what is a satellite?." A satellite is an object that revolves round a planet. For a successful orbiting around the earth‚ it’s essential for a satellite to attain a speed of about 20‚000 kms per hour. Satellites

Winter Wheat Growth Using Plant Nutrition Active Sensor Abstract: A real-time integrated crop monitoring and application system is needed to be developed for the wheat growth environment. This research developed a ground base-sensing embedded on tractor which monitors the growth of winter wheat by using a couple of plant nutrition active sensors (Crop Spec) and RTK-GPS. In this active sensor‚ two different infrared wavelengths were used for determination of vegetation index which
