Abstract:
Estimation of total impervious area (TIA) is a pre-requisite for ecohydrological research to allow for a direct prediction on stream ecosystem health within catchments. This paper presents an alternative to using multi-spectral imagery for estimating TIA at a catchment scale, by using high-resolution colour aerial photography. The method was applied to a number of catchments in South East Queensland, Australia, some of which were gauged and some of which were part of an Ecosystem Health Monitoring Program (EHMP). The results from this method were compared to TIA estimates, for some of the same

Abstract:
There are two distinct categories of remotely sensed data: satellite data and aerial data or photographs. Unlike aerial photographs, satellite data have been routinely available for most of the earth’s land areas for more than two decades and therefore are preferred for reliably monitoring global vegetation conditions. Satellite data are the result of reflectance, emission, and/or back scattering of electromagnetic energy from earth objects (e.g., vegetation, soil, and water). The electromagnetic spectrum is very broad, and only a limited range of wavelengths is suitable for earth resource monitoring and applications. The gaseous composition (O2, O3, CO2, H2O, etc.) of the atmosphere, along with particulates and aerosols, cause significant absorption and scattering of electromagnetic energy over some regions of the spectrum. This restricts remote sensing of the earth’s surface to certain “atmospheric windows,” or regions in which electromagnetic energy can pass through the atmosphere with minimal interference. Some such windows include visible, infrared, shortwave, thermal, and microwave ranges of the spectrum. The shortwave-infrared (SWIR) wavelengths are sensitive to moisture content of vegetation, whereas the thermal-infrared region is useful for monitoring and detecting plant canopy stress and for modeling latent and sensible heat fluxes. Thermal remote sensing imagery is acquired both during the day and night, and it measures the emitted energy from the surface, which is related to surface temperatures and the emissivity of surface materials. This chapter focuses on the contribution of visible and infrared wavelengths to global drought monitoring, and chapter 6 discusses visible, infrared, and thermal wave contributions. Under microwave windows, the satellite data can be divided into two categories: active microwave and passive microwave. Chapters 7 and 8 describe applications of passive and active microwave remote sensing to drought monitoring, respectively. Early use of satellite data was pioneered by the Landsat series originally known as the Earth Resource Technology Satellite (ERTS; http://landsat7. usgs.gov/index.php). Landsat was the first satellite specifically designed for broad-scale observation of the earth’s land surface.

"lake was larger, aerial photography was used to estimate the extent of the floating algal mats. This was then scanned into a computer, digitized and estimates made. During April and November 1991 and in September 1992, Hydrilla covered between 13.3 and 16.6 km of the stage 2A lake, and this was estimated to contain populations of 5.6 billion, 275 million and 513 million immatures, respectively, mainly Culex annulirostris and Anopheles annulipes as before. However, whereas Culex annulirostris comprised 90–98 per cent of aquatic stages during 1985–86, now Anopheles annulipes s.l. comprised 43.7 per cent of all the immatures identified. Although natural mortality will reduce the numbers actually reaching adulthood, these numbers are so high that some form of control is indicated. As discussed previously, one can only speculate on the abundance of mosquito larvae that will utilize marginal emergent vegetation when it develops fully along the foreshores of the stage 2A lake.

Abstract:
New remote sensing challenges arise from the addition of the water column to the remote sensing signal. At the same time, new opportunities for use of remotely sensed data are possible in the marine environment. Marine environments can have organisms in such great abundance that they are readily monitored using remote sensing. From measuring ocean productivity, to harmful algal blooms (HABs), to fisheries management, remote sensing is a key component of many efforts to manage and conserve marine ecosystems. For example, the small giant clam, Tridacna maxima, is endangered in some areas of the Pacific, and because of commercial harvest pressure is listed in Appendix II of the Convention on the International Trade of Endangered Species (CITES, meaning they are not yet threatened by extinction but could become so if their trade is not tightly regulated). Andréfouët et al. (2005a) used field observations and remotely sensed data to study the productivity of the clam fishery in tiny (22.2 km2, including a 9.9 km2 lagoon) Fangatau Atoll (Eastern Tuamotu, French Polynesia). The fishery was under pressure due to the large (4 ton per year) export of clams to Tahiti. Remotely sensed data included a mosaic of aerial photographs (1.5 m resolution), a digital photograph taken from the International Space Station (red, green, blue, 5.6 m resolution), and Landsat TM imagery (30 m resolution). The authors classified each image of key lagoon habitats, using maximum likelihood supervised classification, with each image classified independently. They estimated the population size for the entire lagoon by multiplying the mean clam density in each habitat (from field data) by the total area of each habitat (in the maps made from the remotely sensed data). Amazingly, an estimated 23.65 ± 5.33 million clams (mean ± 95 percent confidence interval) inhabited the 4.05 km2 area of suitable habitat in the lagoon. The high spatial resolution data (1.5 m aerial and 5.6 m astronaut photography data) both gave equivalent estimates of the biomass with good estimates of accuracy, but the Landsat 30 m data overestimated the population.

Abstract:
The interaction among water, sediment, landforms, and human environmental manipulation on the Northern Rio Grande has produced a distinctive assemblage of plants in the riparian (or near-channel) community. The fluvial landforms and the sediment of which they are composed are often not immediately visible in field investigations because of the dense cover of riparian vegetation. In aerial photography—the primary source of data for historical river-channel change and sedimentation- riparian vegetation is often the only aspect of the near-channel environment that is amenable to interpretation and mapping. Vegetation also provides information about the date of emplacement of the sediments on which it grows, information useful in tracking contaminants introduced into the system during known time periods. Vegetation communities therefore provide useful keys to identifying the distribution of near-channel sediments and the contaminants they contain. This chapter briefly reviews the origin and changes in riparian vegetation in the study area, including its connections with geomorphic systems. Almost all major rivers in the American Southwest have undergone considerable geomorphic and vegetation change since the early nineteenth century when channel margins were the sites of bogs, lakes, abandoned meanders (sloughs), and marshes. Most major rivers had broad, sandy channels with braided configurations and meandering low-flow channels. Even small tributaries had marshy areas created by beavers. The riparian vegetation originally evolved in association with frequent extensive flooding. Removal of the beavers, the development of gullies and arroyos, land-management schemes, changes in climate, and the construction of dams changed the streams into single-thread or compound channels that flooded less often. The Rio Grande’s recent history is typical of the larger region except for the extensive recent engineering works that restrict the active channel and flood plains. There are few detailed descriptions of the channel and riparian vegetation before major human intervention, but generally, most firsthand observers indicate that the Northern Rio Grande was broad and shallow, with meandering subchannels frequently altered by flooding. After channel migration, cottonwood, willow, and cattail colonized the newly exposed alluvial surfaces. Early in the twentieth century, the cottonwood groves near the river rarely developed trees more than about 10 m high before more changes in the channel destroyed them.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Mount Diablo State Park exemplifies many other conservation areas where managers balance the dual missions of protecting natural resources while providing public access. Roads and trails that crisscross the park are etched into the geomorphic surface, capturing and redirecting storm runoff, and presenting both a challenge for soil conservation and a consequence of construction and maintenance. We used field mapping, remote sensing, and modeling to assess erosion along the roads and trails in Mount Diablo State Park, which encompasses the headwaters of several urbanized watersheds. The field mapping in 2011 determined that 56% of the assessed roads and trails required either repair or reconstruction to control erosion and that ~67% of the culverts in the park required either repair or replacement. Aerial photography and modeling showed that other erosion (unrelated to roads or trails) preferentially occurred during wet periods, in specific lithologies, and on convergent slopes. Although lithology and climate drive slope-forming geomorphic processes, we found that the road and trail system (1) expanded the stream network with a capillary-like system of rills, (2) catalyzed prolonged erosion, and (3) altered the timing and pattern of sediment yield. In addition to water-driven erosion during wet periods, road and trail surfaces were subject to mechanical and wind erosion during dry periods. Spatially, dry erosion and runoff both conformed with and crossed topographic gradients by following the road and trail network. Road- and trail-induced erosion occurred across a wider range of rock properties and slope geometries than is typical for other erosion. Hence, the roads and trails have expanded the spatial and temporal boundary conditions over which geomorphic processes operate and, due to continual soil disturbance, have accelerated erosion rates. Although road density is a commonly used metric to rank road-related impacts at watershed scales, it misses both spatial variability and the opportunity to identify specific road and trail segments for remediation. We developed a spatially explicit scoring scheme based on actual erosion and the potential for sedimentation of discrete waterbodies. The data were incorporated into the park’s road and trail management plan in 2016.

Abstract:
Recent tsunami generated on December 26, 2004 due to Sumatra earthquake of magnitude 9.3 resulted in inundation at the various coastal sites of India. The site selection and design of Indian nuclear power plants demand the evaluation of run up and the structural barriers for the coastal plants: Besides it is also desirable to evaluate the early warning system for tsunamigenic earthquakes. The tsunamis originate from submarine faults, underwater volcanic activities, sub-aerial landslides impinging on the sea and submarine landslides. In case of a submarine earthquake-induced tsunami the wave is
