# How do I use the toolkit?

The toolkit is presented in a format that assumes you want to work out how to map or monitor a part of the marine, terrestrial or atmospheric environment.

It is essential that you first be aware of your mapping needs -

this is done by completing a table of mapping needs. This will help you select the most appropriate data and technique to use for your application.

- Table of mapping needs

Secondly you need to determine which environment you are focused on:

- Marine
- Terrestrial
- Atmospheric

After that you can use two options to explore how remote sensing can be used for mapping and monitoring your environment:

Graphic sequence

This sequence links the environmental variable to be mapped and the type of environment to suitable data sets and processing techniques.

Text and table sequence

This consists of a linked series of tables detailing the information used to support the graphically driven sequence. It guides you through a standard set of questions that would be used to determine the environmental variables to be mapped, and the suitable remotely-sensed data sets and mapping procedures.
