Observation of surface water is a functional requirement for studying ecological and
hydrological processes. Recent advances in satellite‐based optical remote sensors have …

Water resources are critical to the sustainability of life on Earth. With a growing population
and climate change, it is imperative to assess the security of these resources. Over the past …

Remote sensing approaches to measuring inland water quality date back nearly 50 years to
the beginning of the satellite era. Over this time span, hundreds of peer-reviewed …

Remotely sensed data can reinforce the abilities of water resources researchers and
decision makers to monitor waterbodies more effectively. Remote sensing techniques have …

Water is essential for human survival. Although approximately 71% of the world is covered in
water, only 2.5% of this is fresh water; hence, fresh water is a valuable resource that must be …

Monitoring protected areas and their surrounds at local to regional scales is essential given
their vulnerability to anthropogenic pressures, including those associated with climatic …

Wetland vegetation plays a key role in the ecological functions of wetland environments.
Remote sensing techniques offer timely, up-to-date, and relatively accurate information for …

Wetlands are highly productive and support a wide variety of ecosystem goods and services.
Various forms of global change impose compelling needs for timely and reliable information …

The association between climate change and the frequency and intensity of extreme heat
events is now well established. General circulation models of climate change predict that …

Evaporation from open surface water is a critical and continuous process in the water cycle.
Globally, evaporation losses from reservoirs are estimated to be greater than the combined …
