Download or read book Long Term Monitoring and Analysis of Chlorophyll a and Primary Production in Kentucky Lake Using in Situ and Remotely Sensed Data written by Charles Albert Morgan (III) and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reservoirs provide many important benefits. Long term monitoring of vital water quality parameters, for example chlorophyll a and primary production, can provide important insight into the health and productivity of the reservoir. Having the ability to monitor the levels of chlorophyll a and primary production in a reservoir over a long period of time can be very useful in managing the resources of the reservoir and studying the changes that take place within it over time. Being able to take this long term data and spatially interpolate it over the area of a reservoir can prove to be an invaluable tool to more fully understand and more efficiently monitor reservoirs. By using the long term in situ data in conjunction with Landsat TM data, spatial interpolation for chlorophyll a was made possible with varying degrees of success. Unfortunately primary productivity values were not able to be used in such a way due to their inherent nature of representing rates of carbon assimilation over time rather than the discrete values of chlorophyll a. However, by finding and utilizing a statistical linear relationship between primary productivity rates and chlorophyll a concentrations over the nearly 25 year long history of monitoring in Kentucky Lake, spatial interpolation of primary productivity became possible. Three dates were chosen to represent the entirety of the Kentucky Lake Monitoring Program for the spatial interpolation of the two water quality parameters. Results of the chlorophyll a and primary production mapping for the three dates showed a success for the method of spatial interpolation of primary productivity rates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remote sensing stands as the defining technology in our ability to monitor coral reefs, as well as their biophysical properties and associated processes, at regional to global scales. With overwhelming evidence that much of Earth’s reefs are in decline, our need for large-scale, repeatable assessments of reefs has never been so great. Fortunately, the last two decades have seen a rapid expansion in the ability for remote sensing to map and monitor the coral reef ecosystem, its overlying water column, and surrounding environment. Remote sensing is now a fundamental tool for the mapping, monitoring and management of coral reef ecosystems. Remote sensing offers repeatable, quantitative assessments of habitat and environmental characteristics over spatially extensive areas. As the multi-disciplinary field of coral reef remote sensing continues to mature, results demonstrate that the techniques and capabilities continue to improve. New developments allow reef assessments and mapping to be performed with higher accuracy, across greater spatial areas, and with greater temporal frequency. The increased level of information that remote sensing now makes available also allows more complex scientific questions to be addressed. As defined for this book, remote sensing includes the vast array of geospatial data collected from land, water, ship, airborne and satellite platforms. The book is organized by technology, including: visible and infrared sensing using photographic, multispectral and hyperspectral instruments; active sensing using light detection and ranging (LiDAR); acoustic sensing using ship, autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and in-water platforms; and thermal and radar instruments. Emphasis and Audience This book serves multiple roles. It offers an overview of the current state-of-the-art technologies for reef mapping, provides detailed technical information for coral reef remote sensing specialists, imparts insight on the scientific questions that can be tackled using this technology, and also includes a foundation for those new to reef remote sensing. The individual sections of the book include introductory overviews of four main types of remotely sensed data used to study coral reefs, followed by specific examples demonstrating practical applications of the different technologies being discussed. Guidelines for selecting the most appropriate sensor for particular applications are provided, including an overview of how to utilize remote sensing data as an effective tool in science and management. The text is richly illustrated with examples of each sensing technology applied to a range of scientific, monitoring and management questions in reefs around the world. As such, the book is broadly accessible to a general audience, as well as students, managers, remote sensing specialists and anyone else working with coral reef ecosystems.

Book excerpt: Concentrations of the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll a are used as a proxy for phytoplankton biomass by estuarine scientists to study eutrophication, food web dynamics, and harmful algal blooms. Coastal managers use chlorophyll as an indicator of nutrient pollution and for assessments to meet Clean Water Act standards. Chlorophyll a, as measured in the laboratory by extraction from monthly discrete water samples, is a core component of the National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) System-Wide Monitoring Program (SWMP). Field-deployable sensors based on the excitation and emission spectra of in situ chlorophyll have not been incorporated into SWMP to date because past studies showed inconsistencies across reserves. Several studies have shown in situ chlorophyll fluorescence to be temperature sensitive as well as subject to spectral interference from fluorescent dissolved organic matter (fDOM) and turbidity. The project objectives included the assessment of sensor reliability across a range of environmental conditions, identifying interferences that may affect sensor output, and developing estuary-wide or conditional relationships between chlorophyll monitoring using the datasonde and extractive chlorophyll measurements. To achieve these objectives, validation of the sensor output through paired sampling with extractive analysis was conducted. Additional testing focused on identifying sensor interferences was also conducted including temperature, turbidity and fDOM. Results indicate in situ chlorophyll fluorescence correlates to extracted chlorophyll, but this relationship is influenced by the environmental interferences mentioned. Utilizing hierarchical regression modeling to incorporate data from interfering parameters improved the relation between sensor and extracted concentrations. Incorporating this sensor into NERR SWMP long-term water quality monitoring program as a surrogate for chlorophyll concentration will give coastal managers around the country increased insight into what drives the base of estuarine food webs. Combined with satellite telemetry, these sensors provide near-real-time insight into phytoplankton dynamics, with the potential to provide early detection and rapid response to harmful algae blooms.

Download or read book Marine Pollution Monitoring Management and Mitigation written by Amanda Reichelt-Brushett and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-05-11 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of marine environments inevitably involves considering the problem of marine pollution, which includes questions that focus on the essential need to ensure the long-term health of these exceptional ecosystems and the lives and livelihoods they support. The open access textbook "Marine Pollution: monitoring, management and mitigation" approaches these questions in a practical and highly readable format. It gives newcomers to the field background and perspective through the first comprehensive, multidisciplinary exploration of the topic. The topic is indeed complex, requiring the integration of the natural sciences and chemistry with management, policymakers, industry and all of us who are users of the marine environment. The textbook was written by leading experts to especially prepare graduates for a career in marine pollution studies. At the same time, it is relevant for anyone invested in the marine environment with a will to reduce their impacts. The chapters can easily be used independently and are also connected through the cross-referencing of related content. The introductory chapter provides a historical account of marine pollution and explores the fundamental physicochemical conditions of seawater. Two full chapters cover the requisite resources for ensuring success in field and laboratory studies. Then, chapter by chapter the book dives into to the various types of marine pollutants. In closing, it discusses the challenges of understanding multiple stressors and presents mitigation and restoration practices, along with a global overview of marine pollution legislation. We envisioned this textbook as being open access for the very reason we created it: this topic calls for global contributions and champions, and financial restraints should not limit access to this knowledge.
