Presented in the following pages are image products and information generated using remote sensing in arid and semi-arid environments. Remote sensing techniques can be used to characterize surface features and detect surface changes; create models and procedures to analyze, evaluate, and monitor the vulnerability of land and vegetation to environmental and climate-induced changes, and better understand the role of these fragile environments on a regional and global scale.
