Remote Sensing Mapping

Remote sensing for geological mapping refers to the use of satellite or aerial imagery and sensor technologies to collect data about the Earth's surface, enabling the identification and analysis of geological features, materials, and processes without direct contact. This technique facilitates the assessment of large and often inaccessible areas, enhancing our understanding of geological formations and landscape changes.
