Monitoring coastal wetlands and the seashore with a multi-sensor approach
Monitoring coastal wetlands and the seashore with a multi-sensor approach
Editor(s): Sonia Silvestri, Beatrice Maria Sole Giambastiani, Manudeo Singh, and Jack Middelburg
Due to a transitional zone between marine and terrestrial systems, coastal wetlands and seashores are dynamic and highly vulnerable ecosystems. The multi-scale and cross-scale spatio-temporal dynamicity of such systems in terms of various biophysical fluxes is currently poorly understood. A multi-sensor approach, including various active and passive remote-sensing and in situ sensor installations, can help in continuous monitoring and gaining a better understanding of these coastal ecosystems. A multi-sensor approach can account for long-term and cross-scale trends of the biophysical fluxes and their dynamics, providing a better understanding of how biotic and abiotic factors can influence such changes.

In this special issue, we encourage submissions that present innovative ways to implement multi-sensor approaches to monitor coastal wetlands and seashores, with particular interest in applications that integrate in situ with proximal and/or remote-sensing methods. Contributions including new modelling approaches for multi- and cross-scale data integration are also highly encouraged.
