Life on the Planet Earth for humans and many other species is in jeopardy in the near term by a variety of man's activities that threaten to upset the climate. In addition, depletion of resources,
catastrophic storms, alteration of weather patterns, and pollution may seriously disrupt or end the life of many of Earth's inhabitants. In addition to monitoring conditions on earth with visible imaging from aircraft or spacecraft, infrared sensors provide a wide range of unique information on the status of conditions on earth. This talk will be based on the sensors used in NASA's earth monitoring spacecraft. Examples of the infrared detector arrays used in some of these missions will be described.
