Can this use of remote sensing increase the rate at which we clean up oil spills? How can remote sensing be used to prevent or anticipate major disasters?

Through remote sensing spectral, spatial, and temporal information about material objects, area, or phenomenon is acquired. Without direct physical contact with the objects, or area, or phenomenon under investigation, some means of transferring information through space is utilized. The remote sensing images was really good. Keep going. All the best.
