Fox River is the main source of land-based pollutants that flows into the southern Green Bay
of Lake Michigan. Evaluation of water quality is normally based on time consuming and …

Turbidity is a commonly-used index of the factors that determine light penetration in the
water column. Consistent estimation of turbidity is crucial to design environmental and …

Increased loads of land-based pollutants through river plumes are a major threat to the
coastal water quality, ecosystems and sanitary heath. Identifying the coastal areas impacted …

This paper describes the use of ocean color remote sensing data from the Moderate
Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) onboard the Aqua satellite to characterize …

The Tennessee River in the United States is one of the most ecologically distinct rivers in the
world and serves as a great resource for local residents. However, it is also one of the most …

We developed an approach to map turbidity in estuaries using a time series (May 2003 to
April 2006) of 250-m resolution images from the Moderate Resolution Imaging …

There is considerable interest in accurately estimating water quality parameters in turbid
(Case 2) and eutrophic waters such as the Western Basin of Lake Erie (WBLE). Lake Erie is …

The Basque coastal waters (South Bay of Biscay) are directly influenced by the Adour River
freshwater plume. The Adour outflow leads to important variations of suspended matter …

Efforts to predict water quality often rely heavily on static landuse/land-cover (LULC)
classifications derived from remote sensing imagery. However, LULC classifications are …

Increased loads of land-based pollutants are a major threat to coastal-marine ecosystems.
Identifying the affected marine areas and the scale of influence on ecosystems is critical to …
