Resource mapping is a research area that involves identifying, assessing, and mapping the distribution and location of various natural resources such as water, minerals, land, and forests. This information can be used to better understand the availability and accessibility of these resources, as well as to inform conservation and management efforts. Resource mapping typically involves the use of geographic information systems (GIS), satellite imagery, and other remote sensing technologies to create detailed maps and databases of resource locations. These maps can be used by policymakers, researchers, and industry professionals to make informed decisions about resource use and management.
