Past and Future of Remote Sensing of Hydrology

Session ID#: 80796

Session Description:
Over the last five decades, remote sensing has transformed hydrologic science. Whereas early efforts were devoted to observation of hydrologic states, we now use pioneering spaceborne missions to study global hydrological processes, with other missions in the launch queue or under development. New capabilities include UAVs, meter-scale photogrammetry, and increasing computational resources. How will the hydrologic community use new resources to better understand the world’s water and the water-related challenges facing society? This session chronicles the transformation of hydrologic science by remote sensing and presents both retrospective and forward-looking contributions that cover the range of hydrological processes and spatial scales measurable via spaceborne and airborne platforms. The goal of this AGU centennial session is to spark cohesive conversation about the future of hydrologic remote sensing by understanding the history of the field, the current state of the art, and activities to best employ innovative technology.
