Satellite hydrographic monitoring and assessment of environmental trends along the russian arctic coast

Objective

In this project the full potential of satellite remote sensing for coastal hydrographical monitoring In the Western Russian Arctic (WeRA) shall be evaluated and utilised. The goal is to support natural exploration, maritime operations and environmental protection with reliable up-to-date hydro graphic information in the form of a regional coastal reference database (RECORD). Emphasis is put on regional and local studies of hydro graphic regime, spatial changes of coastlines and environmental trends in the Barents and Kara seas. Specific questions related to pale geography, glaciology, geology, oceanology, coastal topography and geodesy will be considered as well. Results will be verified by using ground control and ground-truth data as well as by comparison with results achieved by other investigators.
