Description
As a result of intense human pressure, coastal ecosystems in south-east Asia are experiencing some of the most severe loss and degradation of all coastal wetlands worldwide. This project aims to provide much needed data and understanding of where, when and why coastal ecosystems are being degraded through a program of developing and applying new, advanced large-scale remote sensing approaches of coastal change..
