Earth Observation refers to the collection and analysis of data about the Earth's physical, chemical, and biological systems through the use of satellite and aerial technologies. This field encompasses various methods of sensing, including remote sensing, which uses satellites and airborne sensors to capture imagery and other data about the Earth's surface and atmosphere. Earth Observation is essential for monitoring environmental changes, natural disasters, urban development, agriculture, climate change, and resource management. The data obtained can be used for scientific research, policy-making, and disaster response, contributing to our understanding of the Earth and supporting sustainable development initiatives.
