Estimating River Sediment Discharge in the Upper Mississippi River Using Landsat Imagery

With the decline of operational river gauges monitoring sediments, a viable means of quantifying sediment transport is needed. In this study, we address this issue by applying relationships between hydraulic geometry of river channels, water discharge, water-leaving surface reflectance (SR), and sus...
