Variations in inherent optical properties (IOPs), ie, the scattering and absorption
characteristics of water and its constituents (the dissolved and suspended material) are clear …

At the request of the editors, this chapter is based on the book section written by Babin
(2008), however, much of the manuscript has been revised and updated to address different …

The concept of phytoplankton functional types has emerged as a useful approach to
classifying phytoplankton and can be used to obtain a better understanding of ecological …

Monitoring of Harmful Algae Blooms is a timely guide to the research techniques in use to
monitor visible algae blooms and through remote sensing, including infrared techniques …

Phytoplankton play a central role in the planetary cycling of important elements and
compounds. Understanding how phytoplankton are responding to climate change is …

Ocean information is collected using different types of remote sensing techniques such as
optical, thermal, microwave and so on. This paper gives a review of various remote sensors …

Coastal zones are most vulnerable for landuse changes in this rapid industrialization and
urbanization epoch. It is necessary to evaluate land use—land cover (LULC) changes to …

While empirical and semi-analytical algorithms that retrieve phytoplankton biomass from
satellite ocean color have matured over the last few decades, the use of Sun-induced …

A model has been developed to retrieve phytoplankton absorption, a proxy for
phytoplankton biomass, from observations of reflectance (R) and the diffuse attenuation …

Dans les estuaires, les bivalves marins sont considérés comme des ingénieurs de
l'écosystème, car ils sont capables de contrôler la qualité de l'eau, la dynamique des …
