Accurate water extraction and quantitative estimation of water quality are two key and
challenging issues for remote sensing of water environment. Recent advances in remote …

Blue carbon ecosystems (mangroves, seagrasses and saltmarshes) are highly productive
coastal habitats, and are considered some of the most carbon-dense ecosystems on the …

The ocean plays a central role in modulating the Earth's carbon cycle. Monitoring how the
ocean carbon cycle is changing is fundamental to managing climate change. Satellite …

Seagrasses are globally recognized for their contribution to blue carbon sequestration.
However, accurate quantification of their carbon storage capacity remains uncertain due, in …

Coral reefs are an essential source of marine biodiversity, but they are declining at an
alarming rate under the combined effects of global change and human pressure. A precise …

Seagrasses have been widely recognized for their ecosystem services, but traditional
seagrass monitoring approaches emphasizing ground and aerial observations are costly …

Marine debris is a serious problem for marine ecosystems and related coastal activities. We
carry out a study using in-situ debris clean-up data (collected by a local Japanese company) …

Abstract Since Susan Williams and I started our scientific careers in the mid-1970s, seagrass
science has been transformed from a largely descriptive field to an increasingly quantitative …
