Mapping of exposure to flood plumes, water types and exposure to pollutants (DIN, TSS) in the Great Barrier Reef: toward the production of operational risk maps for the world's most iconic marine ecosystem

摘要: [Extract] Summary of findings Description current remote sensing methods and data available to map flood plumes, water types pollutants (dissolved inorganic nitrogen, total suspended solids) in the Great Barrier Reef. Surface exposure maps produced for dissolved solids period 2007 2011. Exposure provide an indication influence these contaminants Reef. Calculation three categories high, medium or low risk, mapped from five equidistant reported under MMP (Devlin et al., 2012, Alvarez-Romero 2013). Three classes were align with risk assessment. The variation areas reflects differences dispersal locations ecosystems. There are substantive different ecosystems terrestrial relation natural distribution ecosystems, as well movements pollutants.
