Remote Sensing
Captions available
The idea
Remote sensing is the acquisition of data about the Earth's surface from aerial platforms: satellites, airplanes, or drones. It feeds the layers a GIS analyzes, and with GIS it is the field where geography's employment has grown most, Dastrup says.
In practice

Where people slip
