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.
