Remote Sensing Technology has opened up new vistas for inventory and monitoring of natural resources. With the extension of the capability to look beyond the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, humankind now has access to information hitherto unknown to him. Synoptic perspective and repetitive coverage available from orbital satellites has added new dimensions in monitoring the dynamic aspects of the geo-environment. The successful launch of IRS series of satellites and the availability of high resolution stereoscopic images at 5.6m resolution will further enhance the application potential.
| To harness the potential of this tool, Himachal Pradesh Remote Sensing Cell (RSC) was established in 1989 with following objectives:
- To create centralized facilities and infrastructure by obtaining satellite data, interpretation aids and ancillary collateral data for the use of potential users.
- To create an effective information centre based on aerospace data encompassing different themes for the use of geographical information system in planning process.
- To provide assistance to user agencies
and institutions in the field on Remote
Sensing inputs.
- To impart training and education in the
use of space technology and natural
resource management.
Mapping of lineaments
morphotechtonics and their relationship with sensing in Panjab Re-seismicity entrant
Himachal Pradesh:
Using high resolution
satellite data product on 1:50,000 scale mapping of lineaments and morphotectonic
units is being carried out in the Punjab Re-entrant part of the Lesser Himalayas.
Based on the image interpretation, a relationship will be established between
lineament, morphology and seismicity of the area.
