Refining Remote Sensing of Dissolved Organic Carbon in Waterways

Temperature Dependence of Photodegradation of Dissolved Organic Matter to Dissolved Inorganic Carbon and Particulate Organic Carbon

Photochemical transformation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) has been studied for more than two decades. Usually, laboratory or "in-situ" experiments are used to determine photodegradation variables. A common problem with these experiments is that the photodegradation experiments are done at higher than ambient temperature. Five laboratory experiments were done to determine the effect of temp...

Using High Spatio-Temporal Optical Remote Sensing to Monitor Dissolved Organic Carbon in the Arctic River Yenisei

In Arctic regions, a major concern is the release of carbon from melting permafrost that could greatly exceed current human carbon emissions. Arctic rivers drain these organic-rich watersheds (Ob, Lena, Yenisei, Mackenzie, Yukon) but field measurements at the outlets of these great Arctic rivers are constrained by limited accessibility of sampling sites. In particular, the highest dissolved org...

An assessment of remote sensing algorithms for colored dissolved organic matter in complex freshwater environments

Remote sensing estimation of colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in optically shallow waters

Yellow Matters Improving the remote sensing of Coloured Dissolved Organic Matter in inland freshwaters

De hoeveelheid opgeloste organische stoffen (Dissolved Organic Matter DOM) in oppervlaktewater, en de samenstelling ervan, is een belangrijke graadmeter van de fysisch-chemische waterkwaliteit. Dit proefschrift beschrijft een drietal mogelijkheden om de concentratie van gekleurde opgeloste organische stoffen (Coloured Dissolved Organic Matter CDOM) in natuurlijke Nederlandse oppervlaktewateren ...
