Remote Sensing of Rivers, Lakes, Reservoirs, and Wetlands
Remote Sensing of Rivers, Lakes, Reservoirs, and Wetlands
Session ID#: 249161
Session Description:
Accurately measuring inland water–from rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and wetlands–is essential for assessing and managing water resources, and understanding the global hydrologic cycle. Remote sensing techniques, both passive and active, offer the potential to address knowledge gaps by providing near real-time observations and long-term data records across different scales (local, regional, global), particularly important in data-sparse regions. Representative data products include lake and reservoir water levels and volumes, river levels and flows, wetland extents and vegetation dynamics, coastal flooding maps, and water quality properties. We are soliciting abstracts that employ remote sensing data to study inland water processes and support the development of novel applications and methods (e.g., new algorithms/datasets leveraging ML/DL, integration with models and in situ data) for exploring the roles of these inland water bodies, both in terms of quantity and quality, in water management, flood and drought mitigation, hydrologic cycles, ecosystem services, and land-atmosphere interactions.
