Remote sensing and its role in environmental monitoring
Key takeaways from seminar

In the next few years, the quantity of satellite data is expected to increase at least four-fold. The European Space Agency Sentinel platforms providing satellite data of higher resolution and frequency are just one part of this burgeoning data flow. The fact that this resource is free of charge opens up a host of potential applications across the globe.
In parallel, Unmanned Airborne Vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones, provide an exciting new platform for remote sensing observations. UAVs offer unprecedented resolution and flexibility – and they have yet to be fully exploited within hydrological and environmental monitoring.
These are some of the key messages from the recent joint seminar arranged by DHI and DTU. To get an overview of the latest knowledge concerning remote sensing for monitoring and managing water environments, take a look at the presentations from this event.
