Remote Sensing of Algal Bloom Dynamics

Remote sensing is increasingly used to study aquatic ecosystem dynamics. The method will allow assessment of algal population composition and population dynamics through interpretation of remote sensing data alone. This signals a future where hyperspectral image data will be used to study aquatic ec...

Summary:Remote sensing is increasingly used to study aquatic ecosystem dynamics. The method will allow assessment of algal population composition and population dynamics through interpretation of remote sensing data alone. This signals a future where hyperspectral image data will be used to study aquatic ecosystems.
