Show transcript
GIS uses remote sensing to investigate spatio-temporal changes in rainforests. Remote sensing includes satellite imagery and aerial imagery. Historical satellite imagery and aerial imagery can be studied using swipe tools such as the Esri Wayback App or 3D GIS. Remote sensing can be used to monitor and manage deforestation. Remote sensing can be used to analyse a range of economic activities which can contribute to causes of deforestation.
