GEOLOGICAL SCIENCES AT BROWN UNIVERSITY The strengths of remote sensing are its broad areal coverage, high frequency of observations, spatially explicit data, and quantitative measurements. Laboratory studies and field investigations using portable spectrometers are being used to develop a quantitative understanding of the physics of remote sensing and to develop the next generation of information-extraction algorithms. Applications of remotely sensed data on spatial and temporal scales include estuarine and coastal ocean dynamics of thermal effluent, timing and nature of algal and phytoplankton blooms, and response of semi-arid regions to anthropogenic environmental stress.
