  3. ‘The colour’ remote sensing as a monitoring tool from historic aerial photography to VHR satellite imagery GIS as an analysis tool

  4. Remote sensing and GIS in thesustainable managementof tropical coastal ecosystems 8 papers covering tropical coastal areas in Venezuela, Kenya, Sri Lanka and Malaysia

  5. Resolutions : spatial temporal spectral (radiometric) (taxonomic)

  6. Identification of species/genera (LK) tonality texture structure shape shade size position Verheyden, A., F. Dahdouh-Guebas, K. Thomaes, W. De Genst, S. Hettiarachchi & N. Koedam, 2002. High resolution vegetation data for mangrove research as obtained from aerial photography.

  7. Vegetation structure dynamics (LK) 1956 1974 1994 Dahdouh-Guebas, F., A. Verheyden, W. De Genst, S. Hettiarachchi & N. Koedam, 2000. Four decade vegetation dynamics in Sri Lankan mangroves as detected from sequential aerial photography : a case-study in Galle. Bulletin of Marine Science 67(2): 741-759.

  8. Identification of species (LK-KE) aerial photography IKONOS satellite imagery panchromatic pansharpened BGNIR false colour composite • new space technology (Ikonos, Quickbird) • automated identification • extra temporal window 2002

  9. Monitoring coastal changes (VE) Calzadilla Pérez, A., M.C.J. Damen, D. Geneletti & T. Hobma, 2002. Monitoring a recent delta formation in a tropical coastal wetland using remote sensing and GIS. Case study : Guapo River Delta, Laguna de Tacarigua, Venezuela.

  10. Typification of assemblages/ land cover (KE) Kairo, J.G., B. Kivyatu & N. Koedam, 2002. Application of remote sensing and GIS in the management of mangrove forests within and adjacent to Kiunga Marine Protected Area, Lamu, Kenya.

  11. Typification of land cover / assemblages (LK) • socio-economic survey : • use of lagoon water • fishermen demography • (shell)fish catch Jayatissa, L.P., M.-C. Guéro, S. Hettiarachchi & N. Koedam, 2002. Changes in vegetation cover and socio-economic transitions in a coastal Lagoon (Kalametiya, Sri Lanka), as observed by teledetection and ground-truthing, can be attributed to an upstream irrigation scheme.

  12. Disaster management (VE) De La Ville, N., A.C. Diaz & D. Ramirez, 2002. Remote sensing and GIS technologies as tools to support sustainable management of areas devastated by landslides.

  13. Long-term monitoring / integration / forecasting Dahdouh-Guebas, F., J.G.Kairo, L.P. Jayatissa, S. Cannicci & N. Koedam, 2002. An ordination study to view vegetation structure dynamics in disturbed and undisturbed mangrove forests in Kenya and Sri Lanka. Plant Ecology 161(1): 123-135.

  14. Research challenges • remote sensing and GIS innovation; • automated integration of image attributes (texture + structure detection) : have the computer done what until now only the human eye is capable of; • long-term monitoring (way beyond the scale of projects with a short duration of 4-5 yrs); • parallel complementary research from many disciplines; • integration of inter-disciplinary data.
