Wetland ecosystems have gained attention in international agendas due to their role as nature-based solutions for climate change, biodiversity conservation, and water resilience. Despite their relevance, these ecosystems still face constant external threats that alter their natural processes and dynamics.
Developing effective wetland management strategies requires a deep understanding of their natural processes and the changes induced by external pressures. Satellite observations, using both passive and active sensors, offer an excellent opportunity for wetland monitoring from local to global scales, and are often the only source of information in remote and non-instrumented areas.
This session focuses on studies that use multitemporal satellite observations to understand different processes and components (e.g., water dynamics, vegetation changes, disturbances, soil moisture, biodiversity) of wetland ecosystems (e.g., marshes, swamps, fens, bogs, peatlands, lakes, ponds) with different regimes (e.g., permanent, temporary) and support the development of new applications and monitoring strategies.
This session also encourages but is not limited to studies using multi-sensors and machine learning technologies.
