H41E:
Remote Sensing and Modeling of Rivers: Advancing Fluvial Science I Posters


Session ID#: 8162

Session Description:
The scientific study of rivers is undergoing a methodological revolution through remote sensing at a broad range of scales.  Terrestrial and airborne tools allow unprecedented analysis of fine detail in river forms and processes, and four decades of satellite imagery is facilitating new understanding of large-scale variability in river systems. Regardless of scale, the simultaneous leveraging of both space and time afforded by remote sensing is increasingly revealing new ideas about how river systems behave.

We are soliciting abstracts that employ remotely sensed data to study river form and process. This includes the development of new applications of remote sensing in river systems, methodological innovations across sensors and scales, or leveraging new instrumentation. We are particularly interested in research that highlights ways in which remote sensing enhances our conceptual and theoretical understanding of rivers.
