Application of geographic information systems and remote sensing in river studies

Preface
Introduction and ecological framework
– Application of geographic information systems and remote sensing in river studies: general introduction
– Biodiversity in changing landscapes: from species or patch assemblages too system organisation
Applications of remote sensing
– Blanket bog degradation in river catchments in the West of Ireland
– Use of aerial photography and digital photogrammetry in the assessment of river channel destabilisation
– The use of SPOT imagery as a tool for ecological analysis of river floodplains: a case study in the Seine valley
– Use of geographic information systems and remote sensing for river management: Thames Region, UK Environnment Agency
– Application of remote sensing and GIS-basedmodelling in the analysis of floodplain sedimentation
Applications of geographic information systems
– A comparison of interpolation procedures for deriving river long profiles from digital contour data
– GIS as a tool for incorporating thespatial variability of pollutants in ecological risk assessments of Dutch river floodplains
– Assessing the impacts of drought on macrophyte communities occupying the headwaters of chalk streams in the Thames basin
– LARCH: an ecological application of GIS in river studies
– Patterns of landscape dynamics and their consequences on ecological communities : an application of geographic information systems and remote sensing in the Seine valley
– Cumulative impact assessment of ecological rehabilitation and infrastructure facilities in floodplains along the middle reach of the river waal
Discussion and state of the art
– Remote sensing and geographic information systems as emerging tools for riverine habitat and landscape evaluation: from concepts to models
