Study Confirms the Reliability of Satellite Methods for Mapping Shallow-Water Depth

A study published in Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science reveals that Lyzenga’s method, a widely used satellite-based technique for estimating shallow-water depth, remains reliable even in complex coastal environments such as coral reef areas. Using computer-based simulations, the researchers tested the method under a variety of water conditions and seabed types. The results show that
