CoastObs - Coastal water quality monitoring services
Commercial service platform for user-relevant coastal water monitoring services based on Earth observation. CoastObs is an EU H2020 funded project that aims at using satellite remote sensing to monitor coastal water environments and to develop a user-relevant platform that can offer validated products to users. Whereas traditional in situ sampling is insufficient to characterise the highly dynamic coastal environments, Earth Observation (EO) provides a ...

HAB monitoring - Early warning for potential harmful algae blooms
Coastal upwelling events are commonly associated with harmful algae blooms (HABs). Consistent strong winds (over days) will cause the drift of the warm nutrient depleted surface water. In its place cold water, rich in nutrients water will surface. This causes ideal circumstances for HABs to grow. The wind direction will determine where the blooms will move. This is of importance for both ecological and economical reasons. Water Insight has developed an ...

Monitoring in turbid coastal waters - Operational Service
Water Insight developed an operational service for water quality parameters based on Earth observation in the Eems Dollart estuary and the adjacent Wadden Sea area. The water quality in these areas is highly dynamic in time and space, making it impossible to monitor with conventional monitoring methods in sufficiently high resolution and frequency. Earth observation can provide a valuable contribution to an integrated monitoring system. As many standard ...

Cyanobacteria monitoring services
Water Insight can help you to quickly identify blooms and scums of potential harmful cyanobacteria. Due to climate change, cyanobacterial blooms increase in occurrence and size. They can cause ecological damage, but are also linked to public health issues. As a result, bathing waters are temporarily closed due to these blooms, hampering the tourist industry. A combination of spatial mapping areas where blooms might occur and automated-high frequency in ...

Dredging plume monitoring
Satellite data can be used to monitor the suspended material over time as effect of dredging and construction works. Dredging plumes can extend for several kilometers, depending on water movements and sediment type. The suspended materials might have a large influence on local ecology. The light penetration in the water column is reduced, affecting growth of vegetation and the visibility for fish of prey. On the other hand, the suspended material often ...
