Book excerpt: "Anthropogenic or natural disturbances to river ecosystems (driven by river regulation or land use and climate changes) often lead to long term changes in morpho-sedimentological dynamics and, in turn, to gradual modifications to riverine habitats over extended river lengths. Moreover, since many high value river organisms such as 'potamodromous' fish species migrate across complementary habitats distributed along stream networks, it is important for river ecosystem conservation to characterize efficiently variations in habitat types over extensive river segments. To this end, the 'riverscape' approach (Fausch et al., 2002) provides a framework which considers degrees of connectivity across various types of river habitats, as well as degrees of habitat heterogeneity (HH) over reaches of various lengths. However, such riverscape characterization requires high resolution (

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fluvial Geomorphology studies the biophysical processes acting in rivers, and the sediment patterns and landforms resulting from them. It is a discipline of synthesis, with roots in geology, geography, and river engineering, and with strong interactions with allied fields such as ecology, engineering and landscape architecture. This book comprehensively reviews tools used in fluvial geomorphology, at a level suitable to guide the selection of research methods for a given question. Presenting an integrated approach to the interdisciplinary nature of the subject, it provides guidance for researchers and professionals on the tools available to answer questions on river restoration and management. Thoroughly updated since the first edition in 2003 by experts in their subfields, the book presents state-of-the-art tools that have revolutionized fluvial geomorphology in recent decades, such as physical and numerical modelling, remote sensing and GIS, new field techniques, advances in dating, tracking and sourcing, statistical approaches as well as more traditional methods such as the systems framework, stratigraphic analysis, form and flow characterisation and historical analysis. This book: Covers five main types of geomorphological questions and their associated tools: historical framework; spatial framework; chemical, physical and biological methods; analysis of processes and forms; and future understanding framework. Provides guidance on advantages and limitations of different tools for different applications, data sources, equipment and supplies needed, and case studies illustrating their application in an integrated perspective. It is an essential resource for researchers and professional geomorphologists, hydrologists, geologists, engineers, planners, and ecologists concerned with river management, conservation and restoration. It is a useful supplementary textbook for upper level undergraduate and graduate courses in Geography, Geology, Environmental Science, Civil and Environmental Engineering, and interdisciplinary courses in river management and restoration.

This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improved techniques are needed to characterize complex fluvial systems and monitor ecologically important, yet highly vulnerable riverine environments. This paper explores potential alternatives to traditional mapping of in-stream habitat and presents fuzzy set theory as a means of departing from the rigid. Boolean. object-based framework. We utilize hydrodynamic modeling, remotely sensed data, and fuzzy clustering to obtain classifications that allow for continuous partial membership and gradual transitions among habitat types. Methods of assessing cluster validity are available, but data quality is a crucial consideration. Crisp, vector-based representations can be derived from faster fuzzy classifications by applying a threshold to maximum membership values. This process results in conditional objects separated by ambiguous transition zones. and a compromise must be reached between the proportion of the channel assigned to polygons and the certainty with which this assignment can be made. Spatial patterns of classification uncertainty can also be used to identify areas of confusion, infer boundaries of variable width. and highlight areas of increased habitat diversity. Hydraulic modeling and remote sensing complement one another and, together with field work, could provide a more realistic representation of the fluvial environment.

This book was released on 2006-06-11 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aquatic coastal zone is one of the most challenging targets for environmental remote sensing. Properties such as bottom reflectance, spectrally diverse suspended sediments and phytoplankton communities, diverse benthic communities, and transient events that affect surface reflectance (coastal blooms, runoff, etc.) all combine to produce an optical complexity not seen in terrestrial or open ocean systems. Despite this complexity, remote sensing is proving to be an invaluable tool for "Case 2" waters. This book presents recent advances in coastal remote sensing with an emphasis on applied science and management. Case studies of the operational use of remote sensing in ecosystem studies, monitoring, and interfacing remote sensing/science/management are presented. Spectral signatures of phytoplankton and suspended sediments are discussed in detail with accompanying discussion of why blue water (Case 1) algorithms cannot be applied to Case 2 waters. Audience This book is targeted for scientists and managers interested in using remote sensing in the study or management of aquatic coastal environments. With only limited discussion of optics and theory presented in the book, such researchers might benefit from the detailed presentations of aquatic spectral signatures, and to operational management issues. While not specifically written for remote sensing scientists, it will prove to be a useful reference for this community for the current status of aquatic coastal remote sensing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an overview of current state of the art about monitoring of inundation events through remote sensing. A complete approach to efficient and precise flood monitoring requires multiple fields of expertise, from image processing to hydrologic monitoring. This volume details the latest remote sensing techniques for flood monitoring and mapping, including use of optical data from geostationary sensors and LEO spacecraft, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data analysis, and data fusion. Detailed case studies from a variety of subject experts illustrate these tools and techniques. Accurate monitoring of flood events is increasingly necessary to gain insight about both causes and remedies. Floods are one of the most destructive hazards to the human populations, they can occur practically everywhere on the Earth surface, and each year cause considerable harm and damage to infrastructures. The recent Flood directive in European Countries is contributing to a more quantitative approach to flood hazard and risk evaluation.
