Improved River Water Quality Monitoring Using Hyperspectral Remote Sensing

Friend and Yuan will present results of their recent work on the highly impacted Blue Earth River where they implemented a new and innovative research methodology, airborne dynamic hyperspectral remote sensing. This research has more accurately and cost effectively identified water quality and critical sediment supply areas than previously possible through traditional monitoring or other remotes sensing technologies. The methods and results developed here can readily be applied to other watersheds. The resulting analyses can identify specific contributing land parcels and predict sediment content in flood flows and were made possible using a geographic information system.
