Abstract

Climate change has currently evolved into a serious concern across the globe. Mainly focusing on climate change and its effects on humanity in different aspects, this paper delves into the history and development of Remote Sensing and analyzes the pivotal roles it plays in monitoring and assessing climate change by scrutinizing previous studies and evaluating the effectiveness of the technology in three climatic phenomena - sea level rise, glacial retreat and forest fires. The research results indicate that Remote Sensing can be accurate and efficient in these climatic phenomena. However, the technology has limitations, such as limited spectral range and coarse spatial resolution. To solve the problem, Remote Sensing can be coupled with other technologies, such as Geographic Information System (GIS), to obtain remarkable efficiency and accuracy when combating climate change. In the future, it can be leveraged across various sectors in efforts against climate change. In addition, this paper emphasizes the necessity for ongoing enhancements in Remote Sensing technologies, particularly in improving spectral range and spatial resolution. It also underlines the critical role of international cooperation and data sharing in leveraging Remote Sensing for more comprehensive and precise climate monitoring and mitigation efforts.
