Applying multi-faceted remote sensing to assess hurricane events 🌀
Recovering from a natural disaster involves immense efforts, such as addressing significant effects on local communities, ecosystem structures, and natural habitats.
In a study, published in the open access Journal of Marine Sciences and Engineering (JMSE), researchers from Florida Atlantic University developed a novel technique using a combination of remote sensing technologies to provide a rapid, high-resolution post-hurricane assessment.
“As this technology continues to advance and becomes more readily available, it will offer a broad range of high-resolution coverage that can help prioritise emergency response efforts immediately following catastrophic natural disasters and other events,” says Dr Diana Mitsova, author on the paper.
This novel approach helps develop a conceptual framework that integrates assessments of beach morphological changes, debris and sediment deposition, and structural damage evaluation, facilitating rapid post-storm assessments.
