Remote Sensing and GIS in Environmental Management

According to the United Nations, the earth’s population is expected to grow to 9.7 billion people in 2050. As our population grows, new challenges to monitoring the environment and climate change will arise. Responsible and successful environmental management is necessary for protecting and restoring the natural environment. The interdependency of the earth’s ecosystems and the human impact on the environment present complex challenges to governments and businesses as well as scientists and environmentalists in every discipline. As a result, there is a growing need for remote sensing of the environment at a global and local scale.
