Remote Paleohydrograph Reconstruction of the Stockton Island Tombolo
(University of Waterloo, 2021-05-01)Rising lake levels have become a concern for the coasts of Lake Superior and one such coastline is the Stockton Island Tombolo (SIT) that protects the Pine Barrens Habitat (PBH) in the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore ... -
Remote sensing and biophysical monitoring of vegetation, terrain attributes and hydrology to map, characterise and classify wetlands of the Maputaland Coastal Plain, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-16)The Maputaland Coastal Plain is situated in north-eastern KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa. The Maputaland Coastal Plain and underlying aquifer are two separate but inter-linked entities. This area with high permeable ... -
Remote Sensing for Large-Area, Multi-Jurisdictional Habitat Mapping
(University of Waterloo, 2005)A framework designed to guide the effective use of remote sensing in large-area, multi-jurisdictional habitat mapping studies has been developed. Based on hierarchy theory and the remote sensing scene model, the approach ... -
Remote Sensing Observations of Tundra Snow with Ku- and X-band Radar
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-24)Seasonal patterns of snow accumulation in the Northern Hemisphere are changing in response to variations in Arctic climate. These changes have the potential to influence global climate, regional hydrology, and sensitive ... -
Remote sensing of chlorophyll-a in small inland waters
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-26)Small inland waters (SIWs) – waterbodies smaller than 100 km2 – are the predominant form of lakes globally, yet they are highly subject to water quality degradation, especially due to harmful algae blooms (HABs). Space-borne ... -
Remote sensing of reef fish communities
(University of Waterloo, 2009-10-28)During the last three decades of coral reefs studies, the large areal coverage of data derived from satellite images has increasingly been used to complement the more detailed but spatially limited data produced by ... -
Remote vital signs monitoring using a mm-wave FMCW radar
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-23)A vision on the migration from contact standard health monitoring measurement devices to non-contact measurement technologies has gained a tremendous attention in literature and in industry. A promising method for realizing ... -
Remotely Sensed Data Segmentation under a Spatial Statistics Framework
(University of Waterloo, 2010-01-18)In remote sensing, segmentation is a procedure of partitioning the domain of a remotely sensed dataset into meaningful regions which correspond to different land use and land cover (LULC) classes or part of them. So far, ... -
Removal of Arsenic and Metals from Mine-impacted Groundwater Using Organic Carbon and Zero-valent Iron in Passive Remediation Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-21)Arsenic (As) is a wide-spread contaminant, often encountered in drainage associated with Au mining. The oxidation state controls the mobility and toxicity of As in water. Passive remediation is a potential management ... -
Removal of Bromophenols from Wastewater by Sorption
(University of Waterloo, 2018-09-20)Poly(ether-block-amide) copolymer (PEBA) was used as an adsorbent for sorptive removal of bromophenols, particularly 4-bromophenol (BP), 2,6-dibromophenol (DBP), and 2,4,6-tribromophenol (TBP) from wastewater. Batch sorption ... -
Removal of Cryptosporidium parvum by granular media filtration
