Satellite remote sensing data have been used for water quality mapping, but accurate reflectance retrieval is dependent on multiple procedures, such as atmospheric and adjacency corrections. For the latter, physical-based methods are to minimize effects caused by neighboring land targets close pixels, implementation requires environmental parameters, aerosol optical depth horizontal range (i.e....

Originally designed for applications over the ocean, satellite altimetry has been proven to be a useful tool for hydrologic studies. Altimeter products, mainly conceived for oceanographic studies, often fail to provide atmospheric corrections suitable for inland water studies. The focus of this paper is the analysis of the main issues related with the atmospheric corrections that need to be app...

Next generation orbital imaging spectrometers, with advanced global remote sensing capabilities, propose to address outstanding ocean science questions related to coastal and inland water environments. These missions require highly accurate characterization of solar irradiance in the critical 380–600 nm spectral range. However, the irradiance in this spectral region is temporally variable and d...

Responding to degradation in their original coastal habitat, increasing numbers of lesser snow geese are rearing their broods farther inland. Goslings collected in this inland, fresh water habitat have substantially lower loads of two species of caecal nematodes than do goslings collected in coastal, salt marsh habitat. This likely reflects differences between the habitats in the levels of infe...

‘Drought-proofing’ Australia is a concept that fires the imagination of the Australian people, particularly during severe drought. One recurring suggestion to achieve this aim is to form a large water expanse in central Australia, with the assumption that moisture evaporating from such an expanse would later precipitate over agricultural regions in eastern Australia. This premise then opens the...
