Water Quality and Wetland Mapping

February 8, 2023 3:00am to 4:00am

How do we map key water-related indicators such as water quality and coastal wetlands?

Tune into this webinar hosted by the North Central Region Water Network as we feature two researchers who will discuss how we can use satellite-derived water quality data and high-resolution imagery to map water quality and identify lakes prone to cyanobacteria blooms and map and monitor Great Lakes coastal wetlands.

Featured Speakers:

  • Leif Olmanson, Research Scientist, Department of Forest Resources, University of Minnesota: "Using Satellite-Derived Water Quality Data from an Automated High-Performance Computing Environment to Identify Trends and Lakes Prone to Cyanobacteria blooms"
  • Laura Bourgeau-Chavez, Senior Research Scientist, Michigan Tech Research Institute, and Adjunct Assistant Professor, College of Forest Resources and Environmental Science at Michigan Technological University: "Monitoring Great Lakes coastal wetland extent, type and hydroperiod with high resolution imagery"
