Abstract The use of Earth remote sensing techniques for geological research has become an integral part of today’s work related to searching for and exploring mineral deposits. However, its application is limited by both natural and technical constraints. The main barriers to using remote sensing in geology are considered. Dense vegetation, woodlands, clouds, atmospheric interference,…

Remote sensing of Mongolian grasslands
Mongolia has 156 million hectares of grasslands, with approximately two-thirds as pasture and 1.7 million hectares for agriculture. Over half of Mongolia’s grasslands are classified as degraded, partly due to overgrazing. They wish to improve monitoring of vegetation health. With global desertification increasing alongside global temperature rise, researchers at the Botanic Garden and Research Institute…
