Essay from the year 2006 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,7, University of Sheffield, language: English, abstract: The purpose of this work is to describe the application of remote sensing in the field of mangrove mapping. The question will be about the appropriate imagery and the diversity of processing methods. But first of all: What makes mangrove distinctive as a remote sensing target? Therefore, mangroves will be introduced with its ecological and physical properties. Furthermore, its significance for humans and the environment will be pointed out, which enforces the need to take care of this ecologically sensitive environment. This is why one should integrate the mangroves into coastal management processes. This requires knowledge about mangroves in their ecological habitats, from the micro-level, interrogated in the laboratory, up to a macro-level, observed from airborne or satellite platforms. Remote sensing will be introduced as an appropriate tool to map the extent and different habitats of mangroves and also to monitor dynamics over time.
