1 Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Remote Sensing Approach

Abstract:- Environmental monitoring and assessment includes a wide spectrum of study that overlaps many disciplines, all of which are independent. This paper illustrates several broad subjects related to environmental constraints including water pollution, effects of atmospheric contamination, strip mining, and natural disasters. Remote sensing can provide complementary information to existing ground-based environmental monitoring systems. Remote sensing can be used to meet the need for timely information and can provide synoptic cross-boundary information also. Data and information obtained through Earth Observation Satellites (EOS) can be used within geographic information systems for overlay and comparison with other geo-referenced information. Key-Words:- Remote Sensing, water pollution, temperature variation detection, atmospheric pollution, strip mining, and natural hazards.
