Multi-source data fusion and modeling to assess and communicate complex flood dynamics to support decision-making for downstream areas of dams: The 2011 hurricane irene and schoharie creek floods,NY

In light of climate and land use change, stakeholders around the world are interested in assessing historic and likely future flood dynamics and flood extents for decision-making in watersheds with dams as well as limited availability of stream gages and costly technical resources. This research evaluates an assessment and communication approach of combining GIS, hydraulic modeling based on latest remote sensing and topographic imagery by comparing the results to an actual flood event and available stream gages. On August 28th 2011, floods caused by Hurricane Irene swept through a large rural area in New York State, leaving thousands of people homeless, devastating towns and cities. Damage was widespread though the estimated and actual floods inundation and associated return period were still unclear since the flooding was artificially increased by flood water release due to fear of a dam break. This research uses the stream section right below the dam between two stream gages North Blenheim and Breakabeen along Schoharie Creek as a case study site to validate the approach. The data fusion approach uses a GIS, commonly available data sources, the hydraulic model HEC-RAS as well as airborne LiDAR data that were collected two days after the flood event (Aug 30, 2011). The aerial imagery of the airborne survey depicts a low flow event as well as the evidence of the record flood such as debris and other signs of damage to validate the hydrologic simulation results with the available stream gauges. Model results were also compared to the official Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) flood scenarios to determine the actual flood return period of the event. The dynamic of the flood levels was then used to visualize the flood and the actual loss of the Old Blenheim Bridge using Google Sketchup. Integration of multi-source data, cross-validation and visualization provides new ways to utilize pre- and post-event remote sensing imagery and hydrologic models to better understand and communicate the complex spatial-temporal dynamics, return periods and potential/actual consequences to decision-makers and the local population.     

Spatial prediction of flood-susceptible areas using frequency ratio and maximum entropy models

Modelling the flood in watersheds and reducing the damages caused by this natural disaster is one of the primary objectives of watershed management. This study aims to investigate the application of the frequency ratio and maximum entropy models for flood susceptibility mapping in the Madarsoo watershed, Golestan Province, Iran. Based on the maximum entropy and frequency ratio methods as well as analysis of the relationship between the flood events belonging to training group and the factors affecting on the risk of flooding, the weight of classes of each factor was determined in a GIS environment. Finally, prediction map of flooding potential was validated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve method. ROC curve estimated the area under the curve for frequency ratio and the maximum entropy models as 74.3% and 92.6%, respectively, indicating that the maximum entropy model led to better results for evaluating flooding potential in the study area.     

Integration of SAR-derived river inundation areas,high-precision topographic data and a river flow model toward near real-time flood management

Since several space-borne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) instruments providing high spatial resolutions and multi-polarisation capabilities will be mounted on satellites to be launched from 2006 onwards, radar imagery promises to become an indispensable asset for many environmental monitoring applications. Due to its all weather, day and night capabilities, SAR imagery presents obvious advantages over optical instruments, especially in flood management applications. To date, however, the coarse spatial resolution of available SAR datasets restricts the information that can be reliably extracted and processing techniques tend to be limited to binary floodplain segmentation into ‘flooded’ and ‘non flooded’ areas. It is the purpose of this paper to further improve the exploitation of SAR images in hydraulic modelling and near real-time crisis management by means of developing image processing methodologies that allow for the extraction of water levels at any point of the floodplain. As high-precision digital elevation models (DEM) produced, for instance, from airborne laser scanning become more readily available, methods can be exploited that combine SAR-derived flood extent maps and precise topographic data for retrieving water depth maps. In a case study of a well-documented flood event in January 2003 on the River Alzette, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, a root mean squared error (R.M.S.E.) of 41 cm was obtained by comparing the SAR-derived water heights with surveyed high water marks that were collected during image acquisition. Water levels that were computed by a previously calibrated hydraulic model also suggest that the water surface profiles provided by the combined use of topographic data and SAR accurately reflect the true water line. The extraction of flooded areas within vegetated areas further demonstrates the usefulness of the proposed methodology.

GIS Methodology for Characterizing Historical Conditions of the Willamette River Flood Plain, Oregon

Recent environmental developments have stimulated an interest in conservation and restoration of the historical Willamette River flood plain, both to protect against flooding and to provide wildlife habitat. In order to best utilize scarce resources, we characterized historical and modern river channel and flood‐plain conditions to evaluate changes and help prioritize restoration sites. Using cartographic and photographic data sources, we developed a Geographic Information System (GIS) to map active channels, side channels, islands and tributaries for four separate dates, as well as riparian and flood‐plain vegetation characteristics for pre‐European settlement and modern time periods. Coverages based on flood records and other boundaries were used to partition the flood plain into spatial subsets for analysis. The GIS allowed comparisons between historical and present conditions for a variety of environmental factors. Much of the pre‐settlement channel complexity has been removed. Total channel length in 1995 was 26% less than in 1850, with almost 58% of the river's side channels disconnected from the system. In addition, we found a 72% loss of flood‐plain forest from 1850 to 1995, since it was converted to agricultural and urban land uses. Selected river and flood‐plain variables were made available for a spatial model to prioritize potential locations for flood‐plain restoration.     

Target simulator to calibrate wideband radar in measuring the internal layers of the Greenland ice sheet

We developed a hardware target simulator for measuring the system response and testing of an airborne wideband radar that operates over the frequency range 600-900 MHz to map the near-surface internal layers in glacial ice. It uses optical and microwave delay lines for evaluating and optimizing the performance of the wideband radar in the continental United States without expensive field trips to polar regions and can be used to test the radar without interfering with commercial wireless devices and television stations. The target simulator replicates the feed-through signal between the transmit and receive antenna, as well as reflections from the air-firn interface and the internal layers of the ice sheet, which are spaced about 50 cm apart. This is because the measured radar resolution is about 60 cm in free space and can map layers with about 50-cm resolution in firn. We simulated the internal layers by incorporating a feedback loop with a short delay line. The target simulator is being used for testing and evaluation of the radar in the laboratory and for in-flight testing of the radar.

基于哨兵数据相干性的洪水淹没范围确定方法

洪涝灾害会造成农田淹没、居民住宅损毁等危害,因此对洪水淹没范围进行实时、准确监测可有效进行灾后治理。利用光学传感器提取洪水淹没范围时,不能穿透云层,因此无法获取有效地面信息;而SAR使用微波波段,不受天气影响,在夜间也能成像。因此,SAR成为洪水灾害灾情评估的有力工具。本文利用2021年9月23日、10月5日、10月17日3景SAR雷达影像Sentinel-1A数据,计算相干性系数,设置阈值为0.2,提取水体淹没范围,分析其扩张范围及变化趋势,并根据生成的形变图分析水位抬升变化,验证了基于雷达数据的相干系数阈值提取方法监测洪水淹没范围,以及采用InSAR技术准确提取水体边界与分析水位上升趋势的可行性。

Location-based services: technical and business issues

Geographical Information System (GIS) and Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies are expanding their traditional applications to embrace a stream of consumer-focused, location-based applications. Through an integration with handheld devices capable of wireless communication and mobile computing, a wide range of what may be generically referred to as 'Location-Based Services' (LBS) may be offered to mobile users. A location-based service is able to provide targeted spatial information to mobile workers and consumers. These include utility location information, personal or asset tracking, concierge and route-guidance information, to name just a few of the possible LBS. The technologies and applications of LBS will play an ever increasingly important role in the modern, mobile, always-connected society. This paper endeavours to provide some background to the technology underlying location-based services, and to discuss some issues related to developing and launching LBS. These include whether wireless mobile technologies are ready to support LBS, which mobile positioning technologies can be used and what are their shortcomings, and how GIS developers manipulate spatial information to generate appropriate map images on mobile devices (such as cell phones and PDAs). In addition, the authors discuss such issues as interoperability, privacy protection and the market demand for LBS. Electronic Publication     

Soil erosion modeling using MMF model -A remote sensing and GIS perspective

Hardly any part of the world has remained unchanged since the arrival of the speciesHomo sapiens including the mountain ecosystems. Himalayan physiographic unit of India in due course has become populated and is tolerating all kinds of human interventions. Soil erosion in this region has been identified as a major problem due to both natural and anthropogenic factors. Remote sensing and Geographical Information system (GIS) techniques hold great promises in the assessment and conservation of natural resources including the surface soil. The major objective of the present study was to apply a process based model to quantify soil erosion and to prioritize the sub-watershed on this basis. The sub-watershed located at Jakhan rao area of Western Dun in lower Himalayan belt was taken as the test site for the study at 1: 50,000 scale. Deforestation, unscientific agricultural practices, terrace farming, cattle grazing and land degradation in the sub-watershed are some of the anthropogenic factors causing soil erosion in the area. Here, MMF model was used for estimation of soil erosion by incorporating layers derived from both remote sensing and ancillary data. IRS 1C LISS III satellite data was used for the preparation of land use map that was used to derive RD map, BD map and K map. Digital Elevation Model (DEM) provided slope map, an intermediate layer used in equation 6 to generate G map, and soil map provided MS map, BD map and K map. The above intermediate layers generated were then integrated in GIS domain to estimate the amount of soil erosion in the sub-watershed area. Results show high values 4572.333 kg/m² for G map, which depicted transport capacity of overland flow. Comparatively lower values 13.15, and 7.98 kg/m²were observed for F map, which depicted soil detachment by raindrop impact. The subtracted image of the aforesaid layers produced the real picture, where in the highest value 3.770 kg/m² was found in the midland region of the site. The crossed erosion map was then classified into different erosion classes for sub-watershed area. This study illustrates the applications of remote sensing and GIS techniques for soil erosion modeling.

Capturing Raster Data From Scanned Thematic Maps Using Desktop Graphics Software

Data capture from paper maps remain a slow and costly part of many Geographic Information System projects. In this paper a simple method is described which makes use of the facilities of desktop graphics software to capture raster data from scanned thematic maps. The first stage is to use the flood fill tool to identify the regions of the map that represent the data values and set them to a separate colour for each thematic category. This edited image is then imported into a GIS, where a specially written majority filter is used to classify any remaining pixels to produce a raster GIS layer. The technique is tested on samples from three maps, giving accuracy levels of over 90% in all cases when compared with digitising the same maps by hand. The technique could be useful for situations where a rapid and simple means of data capture is needed and could be developed further by drawing on techniques for contextual classification rather than relying on a general purpose flood fill algorithm.
