Abstract

This review article introduces the characteristics of geography information system (GIS) and remote
sensing (RS) environmental monitoring applications. The authors explicate GIS applications in ecological monitoring, water monitoring, air monitoring and environmental noise monitoring etc., then illuminate the vital role of remote sensing and GIS in environmental protection., The development and application of an integrated environmental monitoring information system will enable the sharing of information resources based on GIS and remote sensing. It will also effectively enter and analyze the spatial data
and the attribute data. It will provide the information for decision-making and promote scientific
analysis and decision-making in environmental protection. Remote Sensing and GIS applications in
environmental monitoring are ascendant and its application in information management of environmental monitoring will bound to the cause of environmental protection to a new historical process
