Due to their complex and interconnected nature and the multiple demands placed on them by human activities, trade-offs may arise in the provision of ecosystem services by aquatic ecosystems and sometimes these services may not meet their demand. These tensions are exacerbated by climate changes and higher occurrence of extreme events but also by increasing water demand and land use change…
Approximately 12% of the fresh water available for use on the Earth's surface circulates over the Brazilian territory. On one hand, water availability puts Brazil in a privileged position. On the other hand, a great challenge arises; how to monitor and sustainably use these natural resources. Studies have reported intensification of algal blooms events and contamination by cyanobacterial …
Remote Sensing techniques are becoming more popular as a way of studying and monitoring inland water bodies. However, such a technology is still underused in Brazil, due to a lack of bio-optical characterization as well as the little evaluation of remote sensing algorithms to retrieve optical active components. As a way to fill this gap, the Laboratório de Instrumentação para Sistemas Aqu…

Water quality monitoring is essential in the context of a changing world; it is also a challenging task, especially in continental and water-rich countries such as Brazil. Remote sensing techniques have been developed, applied, and improved to detect and monitor optically active constituents of the water. Chlorophyll a is a crucial parameter when it comes to nutrient pollution, as it is a…
Brazil is an extensive country with a high availability of aquatic resources, but they are not well distributed throughout the territory. In São Paulo, although presenting a higher population, only 6% of water resources are in the state. Anthropogenic activities such as land use and climate change are putting these resources in danger by increasing drought time, water availability, and eu…
The scarcity of studies on the dynamics of carbon flux in continental waters still causes great uncertainties regarding the contribution of these environments to the global carbon cycle. This scarcity is due to the difficulty of collecting and systematically monitoring water bodies due to the operational cost of field trips and analyses. In this sense, alternatives must be sought to facil…
The cyanobacteria bloom in continental waters is a worldwide problem that needs to be mapped and monitored for the potential risk it poses to human health. In recent decades, with the increase in population growth and climate change, the biogeochemical processes of these aquatic environments have been negatively affected with regard to water quality. In this context, remote sensing emerge…
Amazon aquatic systems have been investigated throughout the years and there is a great deal of knowledge on hydrological processes and aquatic ecology at local level (Huszar et al. 1997 Bonnet et al. 2008, Rudorff et al. 2014a/b) and at large scale (Forsberg et al. 1988, Junk and Piedade, 1997, Wilson et al. 2007). However there is a lack of knowledge on the Optical Properties (OPs) of f…
Due to increasing anthropic pressures leading to ecosystem disturbances such as eutrophication, observing changes in phytoplankton community structure became of utmost importance. Remote-sensing-based algorithms have been developed to discriminate phytoplankton groups in the ocean using ocean colour, but there is a huge scientific gap in this field regarding coastal and especially inland …
Over the last decade, inland waters has been related to its active role across long-range-loop global carbon cycle. Globally, these areas receive a significative but ill-defined amount of carbon content from terrestrial runoff watershed and anthropic sources. These uncertainties are highlighted in humid tropical zones, where high temperature and trophic conditions, favors fast synthesis o…
In recent decades, with increasing population growth and climate change, biogeochemical processes in aquatic environments have been negatively affected in terms of water quality. In this context, remote sensing emerges as an important tool in monitoring these ecosystems, where through bio-optical algorithms, information about water quality parameters can be derived. Despite its wide use, …
