The Future of Remote Sensing
Sustainability is one of the really, really neat goals that remote sensing is almost uniquely able to impact as we move forward. So coastal resiliency, huge. We're developing the LiDAR right now. That could detect very slight changes in elevation over time as, you know, the coast erodes or as roads subside and maybe dip and crack with changes in the water table below them. You expand even further out and look at satellite constellations like the ones provided by, for example, Planet and their imagery is used over very wide areas to do forecast predictions for whole regions. And then other aerial remote sensing and space-borne remote sensing capabilities can lead to biomass estimation
