Aquatic Ecosystems Monitoring

<p>This book collates traditional and modern applications of remote sensing in aquatic ecosystem monitoring. It covers conventional assessment methods like sampling surveying macroinvertebrates and chlorophyll estimation for aquatic ecosystem health assessment. Advanced remote sensing technology provides timely spectral information for quantitative and qualitative assessment of water quality shoreline changes coral bleaching and vegetation monitoring. The book covers different types of aquatic ecosystems like wetlands rivers lakes saline and the brackish lake.
