Eyeing the Climate

Remote sensing technology has emerged as a vital tool in measuring, evaluating, and controlling the effects of Climate Change (CC). Satellite-derived data can be used to assess land surface temperature variations, vegetation stress, glacial advances, drought intensities, and coastal exposures in the context of various Indian landscapes. The paper highlights the role of Indian institutions, including ISRO, NRSC, and SAC, as well as programs such as Bhuvan, FASAL, and MOSDAC, in enhancing climate monitoring capabilities. A case study illustrates how CC and human activities lead to water scarcity and ecological degradation. In addition, the ability of remote sensing to aid adaptation and mitigation planning for urban resilience, precision agriculture, and disaster preparedness is underscored. These findings serve as a basis for informed decision-making and sustainable development in climate-vulnerable areas.
