Remote Sensing is increasingly becoming important in coastal zone research and management. A combination of methods including modeling can be used for diverse end-user interests, e.g.

  • surveillance and monitoring of storm surges, wave action and sediment transport
  • addressing extreme coastal events: flood protection, coastal erosion
  • fluxes and fate of seawater constituents, including pollutants, oil spills
  • hindcast and forecast of hazards and climate change scenarios.

This International Remote Ocean Sensing Workshop will stimulate discussions on innovative research, future needs and emerging applications (renewable energies, environmental observation, modeling & prediction). Operational and scientific stakeholders will exchange and discuss

  • active and passive methods in all spectral ranges, sensor combinations including microwave oceanography, ocean optics and acoustic profilers
  • satellite, airborne and ground-based methods including "ground-truthing"
  • modeling and validation, e.g. using tsunamis
  • combined sensing of physical, biological and chemical processes in coastal areas.
