Remote sensing is the acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon without making physical contact with the object and thus in contrast to on-site observation. Remote sensing is used in numerous fields, including geography and most Earth Science disciplines for example, hydrology, ecology, oceanography, glaciology, geology. It also has military, intelligence, commercial, economic, planning, and humanitarian applications. It provides extremely useful tools for environmental and natural resources management.
