Abstract

This paper describes some of the uses of remote sensing in environmental forensics in Public Ministry of Piauí. The study of the environment has a lot to earn with the use of remote data obtained primarily by satellite sensors. In order to make a good investigation analysis it is necessary accuracy and reliability on the sources. Also, in many cases, the data should have known date. The Public Ministry is the governmental institution responsible for defending the collectives and social wrights. Nowadays, the main challenge of the institution is respond the raising social needs in the society. The main goal of this work paper is demonstrate how its duty has been improved by the use of georefereces information and images from satellites. The examples of exams presented here showed that the use of geoprocessing tools allied to remote sensing data have been successfully used on environmental forensics.
