MontanaView is a consortium of universities, non-profit organizations and government agencies working within Montana to advance the availability and timely distribution of remotely sensed data.
Remote sensing refers to the collection, analysis, and distribution of information about Earth's objects and environment using imagery collected by airborne and space borne instruments.
Scientists have long been using remote sensing to study the Earth's natural resources and other aspects of our environment. As this technology becomes more widely available, it has incredible potential for application in areas such as research, conservation, agriculture, education and business.
Remote sensing also provides teachers with the data needed for inquiry-based, Earth-systems- focused learning in the disciplines of Earth Science, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and Geography.
