UrduScientists have developed a groundbreaking method to map sandy beach intertidal zones with unprecedented accuracy using satellite data. This innovative approach allows for precise measurements of coastlines that are constantly shaped by tides and waves, providing crucial information for managing and protecting these dynamic ecosystems. By relying solely on space-based observations, this method promises to revolutionize coastal monitoring and offers new insights into how beaches respond to climate change, sea-level rise, and severe weather events.

FAU Lands $736,000 from NASA to Study the Coastal Carbon Budget from Space
If successful, this research in the Gulf of Mexico’s hypoxia region off the coasts of Texas and Louisiana may demonstrate not just the ability, but also the utility, of remote sensing as an observational technique for characterizing potentially critical but often neglected carbon cycle processes related to marine sediments. Researchers will use satellite images, hydrodynamic modeling and field work in seeking a better understanding of the ocean’s role in the Earth system.
