About

Earth observation is a research field and methodological approach focused on systematically acquiring, processing, and interpreting data about the Earth's surface, atmosphere, and oceans. It primarily utilizes remote sensing technologies, often from spaceborne or airborne platforms, to monitor environmental changes, understand complex Earth system dynamics, and inform decision-making across various scientific and practical applications.
