Accurately monitor wetland hydrology
Vital infrastructure often bisects wetlands, impacting hydrology or substrate water content. Tracking changes to the ecosystem requires consistent and accurate monitoring of the substrate—which directly impacts surface vegetation and wetland function.
How do we track these changes? With synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite imagery. The L-band radar signature bypasses the surface layer of vegetation and organic soil to inspect the wetland floor. This provides critical information on the hydrology of the entire wetland.
WetlandWatch is our digital service that uses SAR imagery to monitor wetland hydrology and predict how the functionality of the wetland is going to change over time. Move beyond finite, site-specific, groundwater well monitoring and get instantaneous and complete snapshots of the entire wetland hydrology with WetlandWatch.
Get precise hydrological monitoring of entire wetland complexes with WetlandWatch
Large wavelengths allow the radar to penetrate below wetland surface vegetation.
The use of SAR imagery enables WetlandWATCH to cover the entirety of a wetland complex to track hydrological changes.
