遥感地质是以遥感技术进行区域地质、矿产调查和水文、工程、环境地质调查与监测的重要方法技术,在地质工作中发挥日益重要的作用。我国遥感地质工作发展可以划分为两个阶段,即50—60年代以黑白航片为主的航空地质阶段和70—80年代以现代遥感技术应用为主的遥感地质阶段,遥感技 Remote Sensing Geology is an important method and technique of regional geology and mineral survey and hydrological, engineering and environmental geological survey and monitoring based on remote sensing technology. It plays an increasingly important role in geological work. The development of remote sensing geological work in China can be divided into two stages, that is, the aviation geology stage with black-and-white aerial photograph as the main stage in the 1960s and the remote sensing geological stage with the application of modern remote sensing technology in the 1970s and 1980s.
