Earth observation from aircraft and satellites, has a key role to play in helping scientists to understand processes on a regional and global scale in all areas of the natural environment. Visible and infrared imaging systems and now, with data flowing from ERS-1, microwave, both passive and active, are of particular importance for the study of land surface processes.
