Detection and monitoring capabilities of future satellite sensors for lakes and reservoirs

Freshwater is a fundamental resource for human life, and the services provided by surface freshwater ecosystems underpin global water and food security and economic productivity. To improve understanding of global freshwater responses to multiple stressors, standardized, accurate data are needed. Timely, spatially explicit information from optical remote sensing can provide important input into managing and mitigating negative effects of human land management and climate change and variability. High spectral resolution ( ...
