1. Water Quality
Monitoring
The
goal of the proposed research is to explore whether the combination of
hyperspectral remote sensing, ground based spectroradiometry, GIS, and
water sampling and analysis can simplify and accelerate the protocol
for assessing water quality with an acceptable degree of accuracy.

2.
Wetland Mapping
and Modeling
- Investigate the potential use
of 1 m CIR (2002) photos and hybrid data (hyperspectral and traditional
multi-spectral) in wetland delineation. .
- Monitor wetland dynamics
using landscape structure metrics from 1983 NWI data and a current 2002
map that will be created from the first and second objectives.
