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 ...

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 ...

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).

Humans have excellent vision. Compared to most animals, they can see longer distances with more colors and finer details. But the eyes that evolved to help humankind survive and thrive in caves, ...

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