GEOG20381: Remote Sensing in Action 19-20 by Angela Harris https://padlet.com/ang_wales/kxk1ks5xzt1g This page is designed to collate all your thoughts and ideas about the application of remotely sensed data in the real world. The page will hopefully provide you with lots of useful current and up to date information about how remote sensing data are being used to help monitor and manage the environment that we will live in en-us 2019-09-17 13:47:51 UTC 2026-03-21 15:38:48 UTC hello@padlet.com Welcome to the GEOG20381 padlet! ang_wales https://padlet.com/ang_wales/kxk1ks5xzt1g/wish/385288018 The information collated on this page will hopefully provide you with lots of useful current and up to date ideas about how remote sensing data are being used to help monitor and manage the environment that we will live in. 

An appreciation of how remote sensing is currently being used to address a range of issues will be very useful for you during this unit and is intended to supplement the journal articles currently on the reading list. 

What should be posted to the Padlet
Each week I will ask each of you to contribute a "remote sensing" related item to the Padlet. This can either be a comment related to something you have read, a link to something interesting that you have observed on the internet, an interesting image that you have found or an interesting link to a Twitter tweet that you may have read. If possible always try to comment on any links posted i.e. tell us what it's about or why it is interesting.

Each week in class I will chose several posts from the Padlet and invite the authors of the posts to tell us a little about their post and why they found it interesting, so make sure that you actually "read" any links that you may chose to post to the class!

Happy posting!

I am most looking forward to applying the skills I learn here to future research and/or my dissertation project. I am particularly interested in agriculture and how remote sensing can be implemented to make harvesting and crop growth more efficient. An article I found outlines how remote sensing from a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) can be used in precision agriculture to make the overall process more sustainable and limit environmental damage.  https://ohioline.osu.edu/factsheet/fabe-5541
