GIS and Remote Sensing applications are related to the analysis of Earth Observation data (satellite images, aerial photographs) in order to obtain valuable information related to: coastline dynamics, impact of marine storms, barrier islands dynamics, the evolution of vegetation cover on Black Sea beaches and Danube Delta, sea water turbidity in the coastal area.
Our latest project was financed by European Space Agency and developed a new methodology for satellite data fusion in order to obtain improved products of ocean colour (especially coastal waters turbidity) at increased spatial (tens of meters) and radiometric resolutions.
