The sun is very far away and extremely hot. In order to study the sun we need specialized equipment that looks at it using different wavelengths. Using different wavelengths provides us with a variety ...

Sea surface temperature (SST) is a fundamental parameter in understanding climate dynamics, ocean circulation and air–sea interactions. Advances in remote sensing techniques have considerably enhanced ...

Geostationary satellite observations with remote sensing techniques can provide the distributions of cloud top height (CTH), cloud optical thickness (COT) and cloud-particle effective radius (CER).

Oil pollution remains a critical environmental challenge with extensive impacts on marine and coastal ecosystems. Remote sensing offers a powerful, non-invasive means to detect, quantify and monitor ...

A new study shows how remote sensing can help monitor and remove plastic debris from freshwater environments like the Mississippi River. A first-of-its-kind study from researchers at the University of ...

Four leading institutions—the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Taylor Geospatial Institute, Taylor Geospatial Engine, and the United States Geospatial Intelligence ...

Jonathan Ajo-Franklin, Trustee Professor of Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences at Rice University. Ajo-Franklin is internationally recognized for his groundbreaking work on distributed ...

For decades, the ability to visualize the chemical composition of materials, whether for diagnosing a disease, assessing food ...

WASHINGTON — An influential U.S. commission that advises Congress and the White House is soliciting proposals from companies that can produce an unclassified report on China’s remote sensing ...

Existing algorithms can partially reconstruct the shape of a single tree from a clean point-cloud dataset acquired by laser-scanning technologies. Doing the same with forest data has proven far more ...

It is now possible to spray motion-sensing technology onto store-bought garments, meaning any item of clothing could become a wearable sensor. “The main goal of our work is to incorporate sensing ...
