Discharge measurements are essential for a range of hydrologic applications. In situ
observations, however, are seldom available. Whereas satellite remote sensing offers a …

A near real-time system is described, which provides spatial information of inland flood
extent, using MOderate resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) optical reflectance and …

Flooding over the Mackenzie River Basin, which is situated in northwestern Canada, is a
complex and rapid process. This process is mainly controlled by the occurrence of ice jams …

This study suggests a radical approach to hydrologic predictions in ungauged basins,
addressing the long standing challenge of issuing predictions when in-situ river discharge …

Detecting and forecasting riverine floods is of paramount importance for adequate disaster
risk management and humanitarian response. However, this is challenging in data-scarce …

In the past, cloud-cover has been a major factor limiting the use of remote sensing for
hydrological applications. Satellites such as ERS-1, which carry microwave sensors, can …

The present era of climate change and expanding population requires major improvements
in sustained observation of global river discharge. Floods and droughts are affecting food …

Measurements of river discharge and watershed runoff are essential to water resources
management, efficient hydropower generation, accurate flood prediction and control, and …

Satellite microwave sensors provide global coverage of the Earth's land surface on a near-
daily basis and without severe interference from cloud cover. Using a strategy first …

ABSTRACT The Murray Darling Basin accounts for half of all water used for irrigation in
Australia. However, improvements in water use efficiency (WUE) are required, owing to …
