CCRM logo CCRM Remote Sensing of River Bed Structure, Rappahannock River - Assessment of Habitat

PIs: Hershner, Havens, Bilkovic

Funding Agency: inhouse

Period: 9/1/02 - present

Amount: n/a

Very high resolution imagery captured during extremely low stands in water levels are being processed to determine river bed characteristics. Image recognition software is being tested as a method for classifying riverbed morphology and composition. The data are being sought as a preliminary fisheries habitat assessment of the river prior to the removal of a large dam known to impact anadromous fish passage. The data will enhance fisheries habitat projects along this and other similar river systems.
