Abstract :
The paper presents an overview of the scientific investigations and practical applications of a group of specialists working in the Institute of Radioengineering and Electronics of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IRE RAS) with their partners in Russia and the USA in the area of passive microwave remote sensing as applied to the study of soil, vegetation and water bodies. Applications that are described include problems related to agriculture, land reclamation, water management, wetlands, and highways
