Comparison of remote sensing based approaches for mapping bathymetry of shallow, clear water rivers

Spectrally based remote sensing of river bathymetry

This paper evaluates the potential for remote mapping of river bathymetry by (1) examining the theoretical basis of a simple, ratio-based technique for retrieving depth information from passive optical image data; (2) performing radiative transfer simulations to quantify the effects of suspended sediment concentration, bottom reflectance, and water surface state; (3) assessing the accuracy of s...

Integration of Remote Sensing and the GIS-based Methods for Provision of Cadastral Mapping of Agricultural Areas of Ardakan City

In the fifth development plan establishment, establishment of the Cadastre System of agriculture nationwide has been defined to be the work priority of institutions and organizations responsible in the area of agriculture and equity issuance in the country. In this study, the possibility of provision of the Cadastral mapping of agriculture by a integration of the data of the remote sensing and ...

Local Remote Sensing of Rivers

Remote Sensing-Derived Bathymetry of Lake Poopó

Located within the Altiplano at 3,686 m above sea level, Lake Poopó is remarkably shallow and very sensitive to hydrologic recharge. Progressive drying has been observed in the entire Titicaca-Poopó-Desaguadero-Salar de Coipasa (TPDS) system during the last decade, causing dramatic changes to Lake Poopó’s surface and its regional water supplies. Our research aims to improve understanding of Lak...
