Environmental analysis

Chemical analysis typically involves sampling some part of the environment and using lab equipment to figure out how much of a certain target compound exists.

[2] Biological surveys typically includes a measurement of the abundance of a certain species within a certain area to confirm information about the ecosystem for specific reasons.

[6] Remote sensing can be used for environmental analysis by taking imagery shot by satellites in multiple wavelengths to assess areas of different scales for a certain objective.

Remote sensing can be used to identify land use, it can be used to determine damages from forest fires, it can be used for weather systems and meteorology, and also for atmospheric composition.

[7] Recent advances in remote sensing field has also led to the development of autonomous devices for the analysis of physical and chemical parameters of the environment using the sensors.
