Advancements in Remote Sensing Technologies for Monitoring Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sources/Sinks

Authors Name:- Aniket Sharma, Ritu Negi

Abstract:- Greenhouse gases (GHGs) play a significant role in global warming, climate change, and its impact on the environment. Therefore, it is crucial to identify and monitor the sources and sinks of these gases to develop effective mitigation strategies. Remote sensing techniques have proved to be useful in detecting and mapping GHG sources and sinks globally. This review provides an overview of the various remote sensing techniques used to detect GHGs, their applications, and the challenges involved in the detection and mapping of GHGs. The review highlights the applications of remote sensing techniques for agriculture, forestry, and other land use sectors. Finally, the review concludes with the current state of remote sensing of GHGs and future prospects.

Keywords:- Greenhouse gases, remote sensing, sources, sinks, agriculture, forestry, land use, climate change.
