Multi-temporal Airborne Remote Sensing of Intertidal Sediment Dynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
Coastal remote sensing applications are regularly confined to single image ‘snapshot’ approaches which do not resolve the dynamic processes in the required temporal resolution. This paper reports the results of a project in which the dynamics of tidal sedimentation were monitored by multi-temporal airborne remote sensing in 10 minute time steps. The radiance data was then converted to estimates of suspended particulate matter loading by the inversion of a hydro-optical analytical model. The results demonstrate that multi-temporal coastal remote sensing can provide information about such dynamic processes that realistically can not be obtained by field-based research methods.

Intertidal sediment distribution is an important factor in the understanding of estuarine ecological, morphological and pollution processes.Airborne remote sensing is identi ed as a cost-eŒective tool that may be used to provide accurate synoptic maps of estuarine sediment distributions.However, prior to the collection and analysis of airborne imagery, spectral characterization of intertidal s...
متن کاملQuantifying Multi-Decadal Change of Planted Forest Cover Using Airborne LiDAR and Landsat Imagery
Continuous monitoring of forest cover condition is key to understanding the carbon dynamics of forest ecosystems. This paper addresses how to integrate single-year airborne LiDAR and time-series Landsat imagery to derive forest cover change information. LiDAR data were used to extract forest cover at the sub-pixel level of Landsat for a single year, and the Landtrendr algorithm was applied to L...

Coastal lands and nearshore marine areas are productive and rapidly changing places. However, these areas face many environmental challenges related to climate change and human-induced impacts. Space-borne remote sensing systems may be restricted in monitoring these areas because of their spatial and temporal resolutions. In situ measurements are also constrained from accessing the area and obt...

The Karnafully is one of the most important rivers due to its profound influence on water chemistry and sediment characteristics. The present study intended to assess the quality of water and sediment from intertidal zone of this river in respect to the pollution index. Seasonal water and sediment samples were collected during four seasons (Monsoon, post-monsoon, winter, and pre-monsoon) of 201...
