task was the acquisition of high altitude photography enabling interpretation of geological structures. Works on geological in terpretation of thermal photographs were carried out in coopera tion with geologists. Good agreement has been found between the documented natural gas deposits and thermal anomalies appearing on aerial photographs taken in far infrared. Maps of various components of the invironment of highly urbanized and industrialized areas are an important aid for regional- plan ners. These are land utilization maps based on the interpretation of setellite imagery and other, more specialized products. For example: land utilization map of Warsaw and its environs has been elaborated by out specialists during their training in USA; map • showing the distribution of ground temperature in Warsaw was ela borated by our staff on the basis of thermal images taken from an aircraft. Our team has noted considerable achievements in acquisition of remotely sensed data on land utilization, including agricultural land utilization. The results of our research in the field of agriculture are very promissing; we hope that in the future it will be possible to replace the conventional census with a more reliable and quicker method - remote sensing. Besides the Earth surface, also the lower layers of the atmos phere can be investigated by means of remote sensing. A survey of microclimate in the area of planned housing estate is an example of such application of remote sensing. The staff of our Institute has elaborated a new method of delimitation of sani tary zones around industrial plants. The method, based on the in terpretation of aerial photographs acquired by means of various techniques, has been successfully applied. Research on the possibilities of application of remote sensing in agriculture is carried out, to a large extent, in cooperation with agricultural research institutes. Research works have been focused on the identification of genotypes of several cereals and other cultivated plants. It has been established that envi ronmental factors, the density of sowing and the density of fertilization do' not significantly affect the spectral response of plants. The results of interpretation are very promissing for the future. The next task is an attempt at crop forecasting. The water content in the soil is another important factor in fluencing the yield. Our Centre has also undertaken research on water content in soil throughout the growing season. Multispec- tral aerial photography, imagery acquired during manned space missions launched by the Soviet Union, as well as landsat data will be utilized in our agricultural program. The application of remote sensing in the field of forestry has already brought about substantial achievements. Out works have been mainly focused on surveying sanitary conditions of forests under harmful influence of biotic and abiotic factors. The tech nology of acquisition and elaboration of false-colour photo graphy, has been mastered and applied in practice. Large scale inventory on the degree of forest damage caused by insects has been carried out. The method of delimitation of zones of different degree of damage to pine species due to industrial
