Development of Tools for Remote Detection and Prediction of Low-Strength Muds in Energetic Coastal Environments

چکیده
Variability in seabed properties represents a major concern for safe and efficient travel across tidal flats. Especially problematic are “oozing mudflats” (cf. Wells, 1983, Frey et al., 1989) with high porosity and low strength. People and equipment can sink deeply into such muds, making travel difficult and potentially dangerous. The link between seabed properties and “trafficability” motivates efforts to detect low-strength muds remotely and to develop models that can predict the locations of such deposits.

Remote Sensing of Tidal Situation by Monitoring Changes in Suspended Sediment Concentration in Surface Waters
Collecting information on suspended sediments concentration (SSC) in coastal waters and estuaries is vital for proper management of coastal environments. Traditionally, SSC used to be measured by time consuming and costly point measurements. This method allows the accurate measurement of SSC only for a point in space and time. Remote sensing from air-borne and space-borne sensors have proved to...
