Remote Sensed Information System in Marine Management
Today computer and GIS are being used to join marine resources and environmental management, and remote sensed data is becoming more and more important data sources of GIS. Along with...
Integration of Remote Sensing, GIS, and GPS Techniques for Monitoring Non-hazardous Oilfield Waste (NOW) Pits in Coastal Louisiana
Non-hazardous Oilfield Waste (NOW) pits exist throughout Louisiana's coastal zone. Though labeled 'non-hazardous,' NOW pits are potentially dangerous to human and environmental interests...
The Possibility to Forecast Red-tide by Applying Remote Sensing Technique
This paper reviews the possibility to forecast red-tide by applying remote sensing technique....
TM Bands' Remote Measure Test for Seawater's Multi-factors?First Step Research on Remote Sensing for Bay's Self-Purificability
Marine Remote Sensing is different from Land Remote Sensing in someways, one of which is that ocean is a 3-d fluid with large changes in time and space. So the field sampling in sea-water,...
Morphological Trends of the Belgian Coast Shown by 10 Years of Remote-Sensing Based Surveying
The morphological evolution of foreshore, backshore, and adjoining dunes of the entire Belgian coast is surveyed by means of aerial remote sensing on a yearly basis since 1983. The evolution...
Flash-Flood Forecasting by Using the HEC1F Model
The application of a lumped conceptual model, the well known HEC1F, for flash-flood forecasting and warning to the Venetikos river basin in Northwestern Greece, is presented. The combination...
Formulation of a Hydrologic Model, for Use with Remotely Sensed Data
Research is currently being conducted at the Pennsylvania State University, as well as, many other sites, in the area of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and implementing its application...
Multispectral/Hyperspectral Imaging and Data Compression
Remote sensing instrumentation, data and analysis techniques for Civil Engineering applications are similar to those used in multidisciplinary remote sensing of the earth's surface. Data...
Non-Destructive Remote Sensing of Hazardous Waste Sites
This paper describes how the non-contact, nondestructive, remote sensing techniques, of Computer Enhanced Infrared Thermography and Ground Penetrating Radar, may be used to detect buried...
Real-Time Condition Monitoring of Concrete Structures by Embedded Optical Fibers
