Cyanobacteria in inland waters: new monitoring, reporting, modelling and ecological research

Invasive molluscs in Umbrian inland waters: ecological and reproductive aspects

Invasive molluscs in Umbrian inland waters: ecological and reproductive aspects The increasing colonisation by aquatic invasive molluscs has only recently received scientific attention in Umbria, notwithstanding the possible great impact on the functionality and biodiversity of the freshwater ecosystems. The present contribution highlights the results of investigations carried out on Dreissena ...

Inland Waters of Samothraki Island (Greece): Exploratory Ecological Assessment

Samothraki is a northern Aegean island with poorly studied inland waters. River features show a high degree of naturalness; lotic, lentic and riparian conditions exhibit significant perennial flows with waterfalls, pools and ancient riparian woodlands. In this study, we document surface and ground water quality status based on recent field observations, data collection and analyses. The island ...

Demonstrating Landsat’s New Potential to Monitor Coastal and Inland Waters

The Operational Land Imager (OLI) is a new Landsat sensor being developed by the joint USGS-NASA Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) that exhibits the potential to be a state-of-the-art instrument for studying inland and coastal waters. With upgrades such as a new Coastal Aerosol band, 12 bit quantization, and improved signal-to-noise, OLI will be spectrally and radiometrically superior to i...

Fluctuating Fisheries in Africa's Inland Waters: Well

This paper evaluates evidence that fish stocks in Africa's inland waters are climate-driven and cannot be stabilized by conventional fisheries management measures. We draw on published material and our own recent and on-going research in Lake Chad and the East African Great Lakes area to propose that fisherfolk's livelihood strategies are well adapted to both seasonal and inter-annual climate-i...
