Integration of Remote Sensing and Ground-Based Monitoring Techniques for Environmental Site Characterization

Authors: Mitali Sharma, Nutan Jha, Vivek Thakur

Abstract: The integration of remote sensing technologies with ground-based monitoring techniques has emerged as a promising approach for environmental site characterization. This paper explores the synergies between remote sensing data and field measurements, such as geophysical surveys, borehole logging, and soil sampling, in assessing soil and groundwater contamination, delineating contamination plumes, and planning remediation strategies. By combining the strengths of both approaches, more comprehensive and accurate assessments of environmental hazards can be achieved. This paper reviews recent advancements in remote sensing and ground-based monitoring techniques, discusses their integration methodologies, and highlights their applications in environmental site characterization. Furthermore, challenges and future directions in this field are addressed, aiming to provide insights for researchers and practitioners involved in environmental assessment and management.

Keywords: Remote sensing, ground-based monitoring, environmental site characterization, contamination assessment, remediation planning.
