About this Research Topic
Remote sensing, which involves the use of satellites and aircraft to collect data about the planet's surface and atmosphere, enables scientists to monitor oceanic conditions in real-time, track changes in sea level, and analyse marine ecosystems. Deep learning plays a pivotal role in enhancing remote sensing technology, revolutionizing how we collect, interpret, and utilize vast amounts of environmental data. By leveraging deep learning, remote sensing can identify subtle patterns and anomalies that traditional methods might miss, such as climate change impacts.
Together, remote sensing and ocean exploration enhance our ability to protect marine environments, sustain biodiversity, and address global challenges like climate change and sustainable development. These advancements not only deepen our scientific knowledge but also inform policy decisions and conservation efforts, ensuring the health and resilience of the world's oceans for future generations.
This Research Topic compiles the latest research and developments in the application of remote sensing techniques, particularly using deep learning methods, to improve our understanding of the oceans.
