Seagrasses are rapidly losing their ability to serve ecosystem services (ESs) with the loss of
global biodiversity and coastal habitat degradation over the past few decades. Monitoring …

Dissolved organic carbon, DOC, and the colored component of dissolved organic matter,
CDOM, are key indicators of coastal water quality and biogeochemical state. Yet …

In the summer of 2007, blooms of “black” water in Lake Taihu entered into the potable water
supply of Wuxi City and left more than 1 million people without water. Attempts to monitor …

Remote estimation of chlorophyll-a in turbid and productive estuaries is difficult due to the
optical complexity of Case 2 waters. Although recent advances have been obtained with the …

Significant advances have been made in ocean color remote sensing of turbidity and water
clarity for estuarine waters, yet accurate estimations of chlorophyll-a concentrations (Chla in …

Despite recent advances in using satellite data for continuous monitoring of estuarine water
quality parameters such as turbidity and water clarity, estimating chlorophyll-a …

Inland lakes are generally an important source of drinking water, and information on their
water quality needs to be obtained in real time. To date, Moderate-resolution imaging …

Historically, significant impacts to Tampa Bay's water quality (eg chlorophyll-a
concentrations) and ecosystem (eg seagrass coverage) have been documented as a result …

Persian Gulf is a highly turbid and optically complex marginal sea. Satellite remotely sensed
chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) products have been widely used in this marine area, despite …

Characterizing the specific inherent optical properties (SIOPs) of water constituents is
fundamental to remote sensing applications. Therefore, this paper presents the absorption …
