Environment
Environmental issues have claim world center stage recently because of global warming. This will alter the way of life, as we know it as our health (and other living creatures) through the air we breath, the water we drink, the food we eat, may be significantly compromised. Worldwide policies and technologies are in the work for a better protection of the environment:
- Green & renewable energy technologies: Renewable energies with sources from natural resources such as the sun, wind, biomass and geothermal, are considered as key to a clean energy for the future.
- Policies –carbon cape and trade: Curving existing fossil fuel base energy consumption: Fossil fuels, formed from the fossilized remains of prehistoric plants and animals, which help trigger the industrial revolution, provide about 95% of world energy consumption. Carbon dioxide resulting for energy production has altered the ozone layer protecting the earth from heat producing radiation from the sun. Various governments, to help curve carbon dioxide production, adopt Carbon Cape and Trade policies.
- Biodiversity and conservation: Protection of habitats supporting plant, animal and aquatic life through regulatory and voluntary measures aiming at preventing pollutants in sensitive environments.
Remote sensing imagery, with their spatial, spectral and temporal characteristics can help support environmental protection measures including (1) mapping and monitoring atmospheric composition, (2)
mapping and monitoring biodiversity, (3) mapping and monitoring natural disaster.
