H31B:
Advances in Remote Sensing Hydrology I


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 62313

Session Description:
Many advances have occurred in remote sensing and earth observation during recent decades and a new sub-discipline of Hydrology has emerged called Remote Sensing Hydrology. These advances, by providing observation in space-time that were not available by traditional hydrological observations, have enabled many hydrological science and engineering problems to be solved more effectively. This session aims to share the latest developments in remote sensing hydrology, discuss the challenges and possible solutions, and present future research and application directions. Topics to be addressed include but not limited to sensors, platforms, remote sensing products, and the latest international campaigns and initiatives with relevance to remote sensing hydrology; the latest progress in theories and methods for remote sensing monitoring and estimation of hydrological variables and its assimilation for hydrometeorological modelling and predictions; applications of remote sensing technology and products in hydrology, water resources, environment, ecosystems, flood monitoring and prediction.
