Hong Kong and Pearl River Delta from Space 從太空看香港及珠三角
An innovative educational website to enrich science and geography education and to enhance understanding of the applications of remote sensing technology 一個創新的教育網站 促進科學和地理教育 加強對遙感科技應用的理解
Over the last decade, the technological advancement in Earth observation from space
had greatly enriched science and geography education.
This new technology is called satellite remote sensing.
In the past, we only studied what we were able to see, namely, the visible landscape.
Now with the high resolution data from the invisible spectrum collected by advanced satellites,
we can expand our observation of Earth features to see the invisible landscape.
This website is unique, because it aims at fostering extra-curricular learning and cross-curricular teaching to enrich science and geography education in the secondary schools in Hong Kong.
It features satellite images covering both Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta, and provides a comprehensive view of this region from space which cannot be obtained from field visits.
