Role of Remote Sensing to Integrated Coastal Zone Management
The coastal zone represents varied and highly productive ecosystems such as mangroves, coral reefs, sea grasses and sand dunes. These ecosystems are under pressure on account of increased anthropogenic activity on the coast, as a result of globalisation. It is necessary to protect these coastal ecosystems to ensure sustainable development. This requires information on habitats, landforms, coast...
متن کاملRemote Sensing of Coastal Ecosystem
Ecosystem is a unit of ecological community, comprised of biological, physical, and chemical components. The coastal ecosystem is the region of highly dynamic, diverse and productive region on the earth due to the combined action of physical features and bio-chemical processes from land and ocean. Coastal habitats perform a variety of important functions within the ecosystem and support the lif...
متن کاملRemote Sensing of Ocean Salinity: Results from the Delaware Coastal Current Experiment
A comparison is presented of remote and shipboard measurements of sea surface salinity made in the vicinity of the Delaware coastal current, a low salinity band with its source in the mouth of Delaware Bay. The remote sensing measurements were made from an aircraft with the Electronically Scanned Thinned Array Radiometer. The shipboard measurements were made with a thermosalinograph on board th...
متن کاملRemote Sensing of Slicks as Indicators for Marine Processes in the Coastal Zone
Monomolecular surface films (“sea slicks”) are well known to dampen small-scale waves at the water surface, and thereby to influence transport processes at the air-sea interface. Because of their strong wave-damping capabilities they can often be delineated on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery, but also on satellite imagery acquired in the visible and infrared spectral ranges. Since sea sl...
متن کاملRemote sensing of the coastal zone: an overview and priorities for future research
This paper uses the Special Issue of the International Journal of Remote Sensing on Remote Sensing of the Coastal Marine Environment to highlight recent advances in knowledge of remote sensing of the coastal zone and to define a series of priorities where future research into the application should be addressed. Advances were identified in the benefit of high spatial and spectral resolution dat...
