Marine plastic debris floating on the ocean surface is a major environmental problem.
However, its distribution in the ocean is poorly mapped, and most of the plastic waste …

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 …

Spectrally resolved water-leaving radiances (ocean colour) and inferred chlorophyll
concentration are key to studying phytoplankton dynamics at seasonal and inter-annual …

In many regions across the globe, extreme weather events such as storms have increased in
frequency, intensity, and duration due to climate change. Ecological theory predicts that …

Imaging spectrometry from aerial or spaceborne platforms, also known as hyperspectral
remote sensing, provides dense sampled and fine structured spectral information for each …

Intensifying pressure on global aquatic resources and services due to population growth
and climate change is inspiring new surveying technologies to provide science-based …

Monitoring water quality parameters and their ecological effects in transitional waters is
usually performed through in situ sampling programs. These are expensive and time …

Moderate-high-resolution satellite missions provide an opportunity to capture subtle spatial
variability in lakes; however, the sparsity of time series for individual satellite instruments …

Within the next decade, NASA plans to launch three new missions with imaging
spectrometers for aquatic science and applications: Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean …

The monitoring of water bio-physical parameters and the management of aquatic
ecosystems are crucial to cope with the current state of inland water degradation. Not only …
