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

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...
