This NASA Earth Observatory article explains how aerial imagery and remote sensing (including from drones) contribute to environmental monitoring. It introduces students to concepts like spectral bands and atmospheric transparency, showing how different materials reflect or absorb light differently. By understanding these spectral signatures and using sensors, drones can assess vegetation health and other Earth surface features – skills relevant to Earth science and precision agriculture.
