This book offers a comprehensive overview of progress in the general area of fluvial remote sensing with a specific focus on its potential contribution to river management. The book highlights a range of challenging issues by considering a range of spatial and temporal scales with perspectives from a variety of disciplines. The book starts with an overview of the technical progress leading to new management applications for a range of field contexts and spatial scales. Topics include colour imagery, multi-spectral and hyper-spectral imagery, video, photogrammetry and LiDAR. The book then discusses management applications such as targeted, network scale, planning, land-use change modelling at catchment scales, characterisation of channel reaches (riparian vegetation, geomorphic features) in both spatial and temporal dimensions, fish habitat assessment, flow measurement, monitoring river restoration and maintenance and, the appraisal of human perceptions of riverscapes. Key Features: • A specific focus on management applications in a period of increasing demands on managers to characterize river features and their evolution at different spatial scales • An integration across all scales of imagery with a clear discussion of both ground based and airborne images • Includes a wide-range of environmental problems • Coverage of cutting-edge technology • Contributions from leading researchers in the field

This handbook describes the Long Term Resource Monitoring Program (LTRMP) General Wetland Vegetation Classification System developed as part of a multi-state and Federal partnership for the Upper Mississippi River System. This classification system consists of land cover/land use maps throughout this diverse river system. In addition, it describes the evolution of the General Wetland Vegetation Classification System, discusses the process of creating a map, and describes each of the 31 general classes in detail. This handbook also acts as a pictorial guide to illustrate each of the general classes as they may appear in the field, as well as on color-infrared aerial photographs.

This handbook describes the Long Term Resource Monitoring Program (LTRMP) General Wetland Vegetation Classification System developed as part of a multi-state and Federal partnership for the Upper Mississippi River System. This classification system consists of 31 general classes and has been used to create systemic land cover/land use maps throughout this diverse river system. In addition, it describes the evolution of the General Wetland Vegetation Classification System, discusses the process of creating a map, and describes each of the 31 general classes in detail. This handbook also acts as a pictorial guide to illustrate each of the general classes as they may appear in the field, as well as on color-infrared aerial photographs.

An ecological vegetation classification approach has been developed in which a combination of vegetation attributes (physiognomy, structure, and floristics) and their response to ecological and biogeographic factors are used as the basis for classifying vegetation types. This approach can help support international, national, and subnational classification efforts. The classification structure was largely developed by the Hierarchy Revisions Working Group (HRWG), which contained members from across the Americas. The HRWG was authorized by the U.S. Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) to develop a revised global vegetation classification to replace the earlier versions of the structure that guided the U.S. National Vegetation Classification and International Vegetation Classification, which formerly relied on the UNESCO (1973) global classification (see FGDC 1997; Grossman and others 1998). This document summarizes the development of the upper formation levels. We first describe the history of the Hierarchy Revisions Working Group and discuss the three main parameters that guide the classification-- it focuses on vegetated parts of the globe, on existing vegetation, and includes (but distinguishes) both cultural and natural vegetation for which parallel hierarchies are provided. Part I of the report provides an introduction to the overall classification, focusing on the upper formation levels. Part II provides a description for each type, following a standardized template format. These descriptions are a first preliminary effort at global descriptions for formation types, and are provided to give some guidance to our concepts.

"At present, humans appropriate more than half of the Earth's renewable and accessible water. This high demand for water resources comes at a cost: it puts an estimated 65% of global river discharge under moderate to high threat from anthropogenic drivers of stress. One way to alleviate some of this pressure is to develop and apply sustainable management practices to human activities that affect river systems. To develop best managements practices in this context require methods, data and scientific information that are specific to river systems. Given the interconnectedness of rivers over large spatial extents, sustainable management strategies need to be designed for basin, regional, or even global scales. Sustainable management is multifaceted and often requires drawing information from various disciplines. To advance the sustainable management of large river systems, we need information and data related to different research themes, and we need specific methods that reflect the connected and cumulative nature of river systems. In this thesis, I explore novel data and methods to advance three particular research themes that are closely related to sustainable river management, namely the natural flow regime paradigm, the representation of aquatic biodiversity through proxies, and the concept of hydrologic ecosystem services. I develop one global and three large-scale studies, each representing different contributions, including new data and methods, to the three themes. As an overarching approach to provide and analyze new baseline information, I first develop a multidisciplinary approach to river classification and use it to design a novel river reach typology at the global scale. I then explore this framework for river classifications at two regional scales, where I evaluate river classes (1) as a potential contribution to natural and environmental flow assessments in Canada, and (2) as proxies for fish assemblages in the Greater Mekong Region. Finally, in Canada, I quantify capacity for, demand for, and pressure from freshwater provision and regulation based on hydrological connectivity, and I design a composite indicator of risk to the provision of this hydrologic ecosystem service. The resulting river reach classifications at the global scale, in Canada, and in the Greater Mekong Region provide typologies that can facilitate freshwater conservation efforts and environmental assessments. They also provide a new avenue to support the integration of environmental flow requirements and fish assemblages in large-scale river management. The novel hydrological method to quantify freshwater ecosystem services can be used to design new, large-scale assessments of ecosystem services around the world that account for the connected and cumulative nature of river systems. This quantification also presents a first-time high-resolution mapping of the risk to freshwater provision and regulation in Canada. My conclusions discuss overarching findings from the thesis, including the importance of innovative statistical approaches, spatial hierarchy, and interdisciplinarity to further our understanding of large river systems." --
