Remote Sensing Of Beachrock And Other Geomorphological Indicators Of Sea-Level Rise On Lesvos, Greece, Frankie St. Amand

Thinking Matters Symposium Archive

While research has shown the possibility of seafloor mapping at depths of up to 30m, a number of factors restrict exploration of bathymetry such as pixel size, sun azimuth, season, water turbidity and suspended sediments, as well as seafloor topography13. Though the 30m composite images of Lesvos were able to penetrate shallow water to expose submerged features, pixel size prevented mapping of beachrock outcrops because they couldn’t be differentiated from other sediments or underwater features. Higher resolution aerial images enabled accurate beachrock mapping. These images were obtained by a helicopter but increasingly, remote drones are a cost effective way of …

An Investigation To Remotely Sense Mineral Leeching Through Soils, Paul C. Shaffer

Thinking Matters Symposium Archive

Satellite data on Earth's surface provide a wealth of information on landscape conditions. I use Landsat data to determine an important geologic process that influences the composition of the soils. My project focusses on the experimental hypothesis that we can use plant vigor as a proxy to document mineral washing downslopes through soils. I constructed a Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) composite image from Landsat data to help assess vegetation heath in my target location - a national park south of Mount St. Helens. This location was selected because of its steep inclines, dense undisturbed vegetation, and fertile soils. It …
