This paper describes a new methodology to map intertidal sediment using a commercially
available unmanned aerial system (UAS). A fixed-wing UAS was flown with both thermal …

Grain size is the basic property of intertidal zone sediment. Grain size acts as an indicator of
sedimentary processes and geomorphological evolution under human and nature …

The spectral features of intertidal sediments are all influenced by the same biophysical
properties, such as water, salinity, grain size or vegetation and therefore they are hard to …

Abstract The Wadden Sea is a large coastal transition area adjoining the southern North
Sea uniting ecological key functions with an important role in coastal protection. The region …

The aim of this study is to assess the suitability of four spaceborne multispectral sensors
(Spot 5 HRG, Landsat 5 TM, Landsat 7 ETM+, and IKONOS) for inter-tidal sediment …

We examined the temporal variation of near-infrared (NIR) reflectance over tidal flats by
proposing a tidal correction model for NIR reflectance. Sediment type, exposure time and …

Mangroves are well-recognized as the ecologically highly diverse coastal areas in the
tropics and subtropics. Recently it has severe damages due to various land use activities …

Sand and mud traversed by tidal inlets and channels, which split in subtle branches, salt
marshes at the coast, the tide, harsh weather conditions and a high diversity of fauna and …

This work aims to be an initial investigation to the use of geophysical and limited
geotechnical data to obtain soil and stratigraphy characterization. This approach is essential …

The aim of this study is to set a foundation for mapping Beirut soils using available soil
reports obtained from excavations. With the availability of a certain number of excavations …
