Abstract
The presentation deals with details of remote sensing equipment and information. Spectral resolution and spectral signatures carry characteristic light reflection in bands and multispectral bands at specific wavelengths. Factors of spatial resolution, radiometric, and temporal information enhance Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and rapid tracking of atmospheric changes. The multiple uses and applications of refined tracking and monitoring are covered in the presentation in terms of agriculture, cartography, forestry harvesting, geology, urban planning, wetlands and hydrology.
