Higher spatial resolution satellite data based on active as well as passive sensors are of interest for many local scale water management issues and hydrology research contributing to climate change monitoring. A multitude of suitable data from new satellites is available for research and commercial purposes, e.g. TerraSAR-X, COSMO-Skymed, RapidEye etc.
Additionally, recent advances in airborne laser scanner data exploitation and in combination with satellite data offer new and innovative approaches in hydrology research.
This new session invites contributions which address integration of higher resolution space borne and airborne remotely sensed data especially focusing on multi-scale (temporal and spatial) issues for water resources management and hydrological research.
