Current sensing technology operates within the electromagnetic spectrum, covering wavelengths ranging from tens of micrometers to meters. However, newer Remote Sensing (RS) instruments utilizing quantum sensing at the Nano to Femto scale are set to unveil internal structures of objects, necessitating a shift towards quantum spectral domain in Remote Sensing. Quantum remote sensing involves theories and methods that observe energy Continue Reading »

Justin George K and Suresh Kumar Proximal soil sensing involves using sensors placed close to or within the soil to measure its properties accurately and efficiently. Proximal sensing approaches employing various advanced sensors aid us in acquiring spatial as well as temporal soil data/information at reduced costs, in very short time period and with reduced chemical usage and less efforts.

Snow cover plays an important role both globally and regionally as it reflects a large portion of the insolation, therefore keeping the Earth’s radiation budget in balance. Snow cover is important for local water availability, river run-off and groundwater recharge, especially in middle and high latitudes. Glaciers are mass of snow, ice, water and rock debris slowly moving down a Continue Reading »

Shweta Pokhariyal, N. R. Patel and R. P. Singh “Detecting water stress in crops accurately is the basis of precision irrigation techniques and proximal remote sensing providing innovative and faster solutions to address sustainable water management” In era of World facing global issue of water scarcity on the rise, the need for precise irrigation scheduling has become critical for ensuring Continue Reading »

Can you name the dustiest planet in our Solar System? It is none other than our closest neighbour, Mars. This dust is responsible for its other names, ‘the Red Planet’ or ‘the Pigpen Planet’. Though the size of Mars is approximately half of that of our planet, but it has similar size of dry land as we have on Earth. Continue Reading »
