The advancements in remote sensing technology have revolutionized the field of environmental monitoring, providing scientists with a non-intrusive and efficient means to gather data over large areas. This paper discusses the various remote sensing techniques employed in environmental monitoring, with a focus on their application in monitoring environmental health, land use change, and climate variability. The use of satellite imagery, aerial photography, and ground-based sensors is highlighted, showcasing their ability to capture spectral, temporal, and spatial data essential for understanding environmental dynamics. The paper further explores the challenges and limitations of remote sensing, such as atmospheric interference, data resolution, and data processing. Additionally, it examines the integration of remote sensing with other monitoring methods to enhance the accuracy and reliability of environmental assessments. The potential of remote sensing in informing policy and management decisions is also discussed, emphasizing its role in promoting sustainable development and environmental conservation.
