*H067: Mapping and quantifying surface water extent dynamics with
time-series of multi-source satellite data: product development and
applications*

*Session ID#: *13836
*Session Description:*
Changes in surface water dynamics have been identified as one of the
most important global change issues as they can lead to flooding or
water shortages, with significant consequences to human life and
production systems. Quantifying surface water dynamics in space and time
is therefore critical and has recently been identified among the top ten
satellite variables to be measured systematically for achieving
biodiversity targets globally. Several regional to global scale surface
water products have been developed recently, but these are often static,
lack the temporal resolution necessary to observe dynamics over time
(e.g., ephemeral floods) or are too coarse to represent smaller water
bodies or narrow rivers, thus limiting their use in follow-on
applications. This session invites submissions on: (a) mapping surface
water dynamics using multi-sensor time series of satellite data, and (b)
novel uses of these products (e.g., regional hydrology, driver
modelling, habitat connectivity, greenhouse gas emissions).
