Project Abstract

Abstract
The "Application of remote sensing in monitoring natural hazards" is a comprehensive research study that explores the utilization of remote sensing technologies to effectively monitor and assess natural hazards. This research aims to investigate the potential of remote sensing techniques in enhancing the monitoring, detection, and prediction of natural hazards such as floods, wildfires, landslides, and earthquakes. The study focuses on the application of various remote sensing platforms, including satellite imagery, aerial photography, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to gather valuable data for hazard monitoring and management. The research begins with an introduction that provides an overview of the significance of remote sensing in natural hazard monitoring and the challenges faced in traditional monitoring methods. The background of the study delves into the evolution of remote sensing technology and its applications in geoscience, particularly in hazard monitoring. The problem statement highlights the limitations of current monitoring techniques and the need for more advanced and efficient methods to address natural hazards effectively. The objectives of the study are outlined to guide the research towards achieving specific goals in enhancing hazard monitoring through remote sensing. The literature review in this research explores existing studies and research findings related to the application of remote sensing in monitoring natural hazards. The review covers ten key areas, including the role of satellite imagery, UAVs, and geographic information systems (GIS) in hazard monitoring, as well as the challenges and opportunities associated with remote sensing technologies in this field. The research methodology section outlines the approach and techniques employed in data collection, analysis, and interpretation, including the selection of study areas, data acquisition methods, and image processing techniques.
