USE OF REMOTE SENSING DATA AND GIS TECHNOLOGY
ABSTRACT
The aim of the research was to monitor and assess landslide hazards by remote sensing data processing and GIS spatial analysis. The automatic classification of remote sensing images pro-vides many useful land use information to combine in a GIS environment with other spatial factors influencing the occurrence of landslide.

Agricultural Aircraft

Sometimes the solution to a problem is in one’s own backyard. For agricultural engineer Steven J. Thomson, readily available agricultural airplanes provided a solution to the need for high-resolution images as part of remote sensing techniques for the Mississippi Delta.

Civilian Satellite Remote Sensing

0ver the next two decades, Earth observations from space promise to become increasingly important for predicting the weather, studying global change, and managing global resources. How the U.S. government responds to the political, economic, and technical challenges posed by the growing interest in satellite remote sensing could have a major impact on the use and management of global resources.

About GIS Day
GIS Day provides an international forum for users of geographic information systems (GIS) technology to demonstrate real-world applications that are making a difference in our society. More than 80 countries will participate in holding local events such as corporate open houses, hands-on workshops, community expos, school assemblies, and more.
