Retrieval of suspended particulate matter concentrations in the Danube River from Landsat ETM data

Heavy metal accumulation in the leaves, stem and root of the invasive submerged macrophyte Myriophyllum spicatum L. (Haloragaceae): an example of Kadin Creek (Mugla, Turkey)

“…The filters were dried at 105°C for 12 h and weighed and the weight difference was used to calculate the amount of suspended particulate matter in the samples (Onderka and Pekárová 2008). The samples of M. spicatum were collected between 2011 and 2012 seasonally with random sampling from the Kadın Creek.…”

A Semi-Analytical Model for Remote Sensing Retrieval of Suspended Sediment Concentration in the Gulf of Bohai, China

“…The particle sizes were measured using the LS-POP (V1) Laser Particle Size Analyzer manufactured by OMEC Company. Chlorophyll-a concentrations were determined for 20 samples, by fluorometry [14,58,59]. Among data gathered from the original 107 sampled locations, data from 90 locations were retained for subsequent analyses since the rest of measurements failed the quality control protocol due to ship waggling, foam in the waters and SSC measurement error.…”

“…RS data have been exploited to produce geographically extensive maps of SSC, including the use of AVHRR in the 80s [7,10], Landsat archive in the 70s [8,[11][12][13][14], SeaWiFS imagery after 1997 [9], MERIS imagery after 2003 [5,6] and MODIS data from 2002 up to now [15]. The amount of SSC data that can be retrieved from satellite imagery would be considerably larger than the historical records of SSC obtained by the traditional means.…”

Effects of land use and irrigation intensity on the transport of iodide in structured clay loam soil

“…Nutrient leaching can be a cause of surface and/or groundwater contamination, which could result in non-potable water (SMITH et al, 1999), eutrophication, or algal blooms (FARKAS et al, 2013;LICHNER et al, 2013;ONDERKA & PEKÁROVÁ, 2008;RABALAIS et al, 2009). Therefore, enhanced knowledge about the soil matrices of cultivated lands can be a very important element of decision-making in agricultural management.…”
