| Abstract | Satellite remote sensing offers the potential to routinely provide information at useful temporal and spatial scales for monitoring the dynamic coastal zone. In the fall of 1995, Canada launched the
RADARSAT satellite carrying multiple mode synthetic aperture radar (SAR). Over the past two years, considerable experience has been gained in the operational use of RADARSAT SAR for coastal applications such as sea ice monitoring, vessel detection,
and oil slick detection. This paper summarizes Canadian activities in these areas and reports on development efforts in automated algorithms. Observations are made on the potential conflicts among users in coastal environments. |
