Multi-source Remote Sensing of Rivers, Lakes, Reservoirs and Wetlands
Multi-source Remote Sensing of Rivers, Lakes, Reservoirs and Wetlands
Session ID#: 85504
Session Description:
Surface water processes play an essential role in Earth systems. However, these processes are not fully understood at regional to global scales. Optical and microwave satellite remote sensing offers the potential to address knowledge gaps in surface water entities, including rivers, lakes, reservoirs and wetlands. Multi-source remote sensing data can not only facilitate an improved understanding of the long term variability and trends of surface water processes, but can also provide observations on a near real-time basis for monitoring and prediction, particularly in data-sparse regions.
We are soliciting abstracts that employ multi-source remotely sensed data to study surface water processes (e.g., river discharge, lake volume variation, wetland inundation), and support the development of novel applications (e.g., new algorithms/datasets, integration with models). The session focuses on, but is not limited to, exploring the roles of surface water bodies and wetlands in water management, hydrological cycles, ecosystem services, and land-atmosphere interactions.
