Remote Sensing Forum

PNAMP wishes to support the interests of the community of aquatic monitoring partners in the application of remotely-sensed data. Topics of interest include types of remotely sensed data that are available and their sources, how these data can be used to answer specific monitoring needs, and how to best integrate aerial or satellite based data with monitoring data collected from direct or ground-sensor collected observations. Monitoring of habitat at a number of scales is of particular interest – watershed, bank, and instream. PNAMP hosted a special session ‘Remote Sensing Applications for Aquatic Resource Monitoring’ at the 2008 ASPRS annual conference that included eleven presentations and a concluding expert panel discussion. A compilation of papers from this session was later published. In 2011, PNAMP is initiating an effort to organize an ongoing aquatic remote sensing community of practice with periodic informational webinars.
