Dear Colleagues: Please see the following announcement. Thanks for your
attention. Chuanmin Hu, University of South Florida
AGU Fall 2013 Meeting - session on hyperspectral remote sensing of
coastal aquatic environments calls for abstracts - Deadline for abstract
submission is Aug 6, 2013.
AGU Fall Meeting, 9-13 December 2013, San Francisco, CA, USA

Session OS009 calls for abstract submission
Title: Hyperspectral remote sensing of coastal aquatic environments
using manned and unmanned airborne vehicles: Technical advancement and
scientific applications
Session Conveners: Drs. Chuanmin Hu, Paul Carlson, Stanley Herwitz, and
Liane Guild
Description: The NASA ROSES Program recently funded several projects to
test the feasibility and challenges in using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
(UAVs) and other airborne platforms and sensors to collect Earth science
data and address Earth science questions. The session will focus on two
aspects of airborne remote sensing science: 1) technical challenges and
advancement of UAV and other airborne remote sensing (e.g., AVIRIS,
PRISM, and commercial sensors), including sensor comparison and
integration, operational strengths and constraints of differing
platforms/sensors, geometric and atmospheric correction,
calibration/validation, and development of inversion algorithms to
retrieve water-column and benthic parameters; 2) application of airborne
remote sensing data to resolve short-term changes in water-column
properties (e.g., phytoplankton biomass, CDOM, and suspended sediment)
as well as in productivity and biomass of seagrasses, corals, and other
coastal benthic habitats.
