Introduction

Remote Sensing in Action: Mapping and Monitoring Land Cover Change is a diverse topic that might evoke a lot of questions. Especially people, who do not work in this kind of area in a regular way probably only know, that remote sensing deals with satellites. But what else does remote sensing have to offer? In the following blog I will explain what exactly remote sensing is and the subjects it can deal with. I am planning to sum up some basic information and then go into depth with some topics, which is inspired by the things I am going to deal with in my remote sensing class at University. If I do find a useful opportunity to do so, I will try to link the remote sensing input with some other geography related classes I am taking this semester. Besides that, I will also give useful information, so this blog is also suitable for people, who do not know much about it, but are interested in learning and getting a brief overview.
