Utilizing Remote Sensing to Understand Climate–Land Interactions (Journal Article)

***______{For Hard Copy, Please visit Library.}________***

Abstract: This article presents an introduction to the use of remote sensing for the study of climate-land interactions. The article begins with a brief review of current climate change knowledge and then examines the bidirectional relationship within climate-land interactions. Using select examples from the scientific literature, the article discusses the role and contributions of remotes sensing to our current understanding of climate-land interactions and the
global impacts of climate change. The aim is to provide content that teachers can use in the creation of lesson plans focused on climate change and its global impacts. Relevant teacher resources induce interactive tools that allow students to visually analyse climate patterns and impacts across the United States and globally. The material presented and resources provided are suitable for use in introductory Environmental Science and Physical Science
courses and could be adapted for advanced courses.
