Remote Sensing and GIS

Capturing data on earth

Remote sensing and GIS explores the use of technologies to gather information about the earth we live on.

In celebration of this year's Earth Science Week, and in acknowledgement of the breadth of research, we’ve collated free leading articles from our remote sensing and GIS portfolio. The articles below cover a variety of uses of remote sensing and GIS, including land-use, natural hazards and smart technologies.

All featured research will be available via this page until 28 February 2021 for you to read, share and cite.

Explore the collection and join in the conversation at @tandfenviro with #EarthSciWeek.
