The remnants of historic craft located off the allied landing sectors represents a microcosm of World War II-era U.S. Navy shipwrecks and submerged battlefields worldwide, as well as the largest known assemblage of naval-related vessel losses anywhere in the world." A good report. - From US Navy - http://www.history.navy.mil/branches/org12-6k.htm

Satellite remote sensing-GIS and Remote Sensing for Archaeology: Burgundy, France __ "Satellite remote sensing can provide a variety of useful data for this type of research. A variety of sources for such data exist, and while the data can be expensive and require extensive digital image processing, they provide a synoptic view which is not available from aerial photography. It takes over 200 aerial mapping photos to cover the same area as a single satellite image." Read more about this research technology. - illustrated - English or French - From Scott Madry, Ph.D. - http://www.informatics.org/france/sat.html 

The Sky's Eyes: Remote Sensing in Archaeology __ a great introduction to remote sensing archaeology. "Some would argue that the greatest advancement in archaeology since the shovel is remote sensing, or being able to "see" an archaeological site without actually excavating it. (If nothing else, it's certainly easier on the lower back.)" You will learn about remote sensing archaeology and the search for the lost city of Arabia. - illustrated - from NOVA - http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/ubar/tools/
