 Jensen (2007) defines remote sensing as:
-//„the non-contact recording of information from the ultraviolet, visible, infrared, and microwave regions of the electromagnetic spectrum by means of instruments such as cameras, scanners, lasers, linear arrays, and/or area arrays on platforms such as aircraft or spacecraft, and the analysis of acquired information by means of visual and digital image processing“.//

 The results of remote sensing are images with an abundance of information allowing us to //“determine the composition and nature of the Earth’s surface and atmosphere from local to global scales”// (Kitchin & Thrift, 2008). Through the repetitive nature of the remote sensing, these images hold information about changes at different points in time and are thus good proxys for [[:wiki:ecosystemservices?s[]=ecosystem&s[]=services|ecosystem services]], see [[:wiki:indicators?s[]=indicator|indicators]]. Thus remote sensing is a powerful tool to assess information that would otherwise be difficult to obtain within the same scale of time and space. Consequently, remote sensing becomes //“a multi-faceted, multi-disciplinary endeavour to acquire information from targets”// (Clark & Rilee, 2010).
