Journal ArticleDOI
Extending Landsat 8: Retrieval of an Orange contra-Band for Inland Water Quality Applications
Alexandre Castagna,Stefan G. H. Simis,Heidi M. Dierssen,Quinten Vanhellemont,Koen Sabbe,Wim Vyverman +5 more
TL;DR: The Operational Land Imager (OLI) onboard Landsat 8 has found successful application in inland and coastal water remote sensing but its limited multispectral band set restricts the range of water quality parameters that can be retrieved.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Influence of a Sandy Substrate, Seagrass, or Highly Turbid Water on Albedo and Surface Heat Flux
Journal ArticleDOI
Determining Size Distributions and Composition of Particles Suspended in Water: A New SEM-EDS Protocol with Validation and Comparison to Other Methods
Heather Groundwater,Michael S. Twardowski,Heidi M. Dierssen,Antoine Sciandra,Scott A. Freeman +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method was developed to quantify the size distribution of particle suspensions and characterize their chemical composition utilizing a scanning electron microscope (SEM) coupled with an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectral Reflectance of Palauan Reef-Building Coral with Different Symbionts in Response to Elevated Temperature
Brandon J. Russell,Heidi M. Dierssen,Todd C. LaJeunesse,Kenneth D. Hoadley,Mark E. Warner,Dustin W. Kemp,Timothy G. Bateman +6 more
TL;DR: As hypothesized, coral colonies from offshore with Clade C symbionts showed a greater response to experimental heating, manifested as decreased symbiont density and increased reflectance or “bleaching” than their inshore counterparts with S. trenchii.
Journal ArticleDOI
Water Column Optical Properties of Pacific Coral Reefs Across Geomorphic Zones and in Comparison to Offshore Waters
TL;DR: Optical properties derived from satellite imagery indicate that offshore waters are consistently lower in absorption and backscattering than reef waters, so the use of satellite-derived offshore parameters in modeling reef optics could lead to significant underestimation of absorption and scattering, and overestimation of benthic light availability.
