EC24D:
Present and Future Coastal and Inland Aquatic Remote Sensing for Science and Societal Benefit III Posters


Session ID#: 11533

Session Description:
Coastal and inland waters are vital to life on Earth.  Watershed interactions with lakes and estuaries play a critical role in global biogeochemical cycles, in shaping and sustaining marine and terrestrial ecosystems, and can impact human economy, health and safety.  However, these vital resources are vulnerable to climate change and increasing anthropogenic pressures.  Remote sensing is a critical tool for the study of these systems on regional scales. This includes observations of physical factors in coastal ecosystems, such as the water surface temperature and height; suspended sediments; watershed evapotranspiration, soil moisture, and water body evaporation; and biospheric observations, including phytoplankton biomass and species composition; land cover/land use; benthic conditions, emergent and submerged aquatic vegetation, and coral reefs.  These observations are being made with current satellite and airborne active and passive sensors.  In the future, new space borne imaging spectrometers and other new technologies could overcome many limitations of current systems and transform observational capabilities.  This session will explore the latest interdisciplinary research, the challenges in coastal and inland aquatic remote sensing, and plans for future development of instruments and the utilization of coastal and inland aquatic remote sensing (in situ, airborne, and satellite) for science and to societal benefit.
