The Floodwater Depth Estimation Tool (FwDET v2.0) for improved remote sensing analysis of coastal flooding

Remote 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...

Advances in Remote Sensing of Flooding

With the publication of eight original research articles, four types of advances in the remote sensing of floods are achieved. The uncertainty of modeled outputs using precipitation datasets derived from in situ observations and remote sensors is further understood. With the terrestrial laser scanner and airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) coupled with high resolution optical and radar...

Remote Sensing for Marine and Coastal Environments

A scanning lidar system provides high-resolution two-dimensional measurements of ocean wave displacement. The airborne operation further enhances the speed of data acquisition. These properties allow rapid characterization of the ocean wave environment. In addition to active ranging, the scanning optics can obtain passive measurements of surface emissivity, yielding a digital image of the surfa...

Decision support system (DSS) for site selection floodwater spreading schemes using remote sensing (RS) and geographical information systems (GIS)

Possibility Using Remote Sensing for Estimation Sediment Resources to Reservoir of Exploitation Dams

Sedimentation in reservoirs is a prerequisite for sustainable water management. The Dez dam is very important the country because of its role in electricity frequency adjustment. The main objective of this research is to identify the sources of sediment in the catchment using satellite images, GIS and hydro-geological information. For this purpose, the lab results of sediments mineralogy reveal...
