Remote sensing enables large-scale observation of areas that would be inaccessible or otherwise difficult to access using conventional methods of data retrieval. Remote sensing is also cost-effective and safer than collecting data in the field. A satellite can capture images of an area of concern in minutes that could take a researcher years to collect in the field. The type of remote sensing mentioned on this site deals with images collected by satellites that orbit the Earth. This data is then sent to different agencies and organizations to be used to study the environment in question.  2, record 1, English, - data%20retrieval

Site investigations. The objective of most geotechnical investigations is to obtain information on the site and subsurface conditions that is required for design and construction of engineered facilities and for evaluation and mitigation of geologic hazards, such as landslides, subsidence, and liquefaction. The site investigation is part of a fully integrated process that includes : 1. Synthesis of available data 2. Field and laboratory investigations 3. Characterization of site stratigraphy and soil properties 4. Engineering analyses 5. Formulation of design and construction criteria or engineering evaluations.  3, record 2, English, - site%20investigation

In our opinion, on site pilot-scale perturbation experiments may be the most realistic and productive avenue to pursue in impact assessment studies. These seem to be generally accepted in the engineering field where fully-instrumented test facilities, such as pipeline loops in the Arctic, provide data of direct use in project design.  1, record 4, English, - pilot%2Dscale%20perturbation%20experiment
