1 Remote Sensing Monitoring and GIS Modeling Lake Watch of Lake Martin Initiative Luoheng Han Department of Geography University of Alabama John Glasier Lake Watch of Lake Martin

2 Lake Watch Project Support Assess adequacy of current citizen-monitoring capabilities Test new monitoring capabilities Facilitate education outreach activities

3 Citizen-Group Research Questions? To what extent can AWW monitoring capabilities measure nutrient (and sediment) concentrations and their lake effects? [Both current and proposed capabilities for the project] Are current AWW (shoreline) monitoring data representative of respective embayment conditions? Can close-range hyperspectral data estimate Chlorophyll-a concentrations? What s the optimal mix of AWW citizen monitoring capabilities that can satisfy long-term needs?

32 What is a GIS? A GIS is a computer system capable of assembling, storing, manipulating, and displaying geographically referenced information, i.e. data, identified by location.

33 Source: Strength of GIS The integration of data in different forms through a GIS

34 Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) SWAT was developed to predict the effects of land management practices on: water sediment agricultural chemical yields For use on large, complex watersheds with varying soils, landuse, and management conditions over long periods of time
