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.

過去數十年，在太空觀察地球的衛星遙感科技發展一日千里，大大豐富和協助了科學和地理教育。

過去，我們只能研究我們所看見的可見地形。現在，先進的衛星可收集不可見光的高解析像度資料，使我們能進一步觀察更多地球特徵，研究不可見地形。

這特別的網站旨在推動課外學習與跨學科教育，藉此豐富香港中學的科學和地理教育。它包括了涵蓋香港與珠江三角洲的衛星圖像，並以太空遙感影像提供實地考察無法獲取的區域全貌。
