Keywords: Satellite Photographs, Water Depths, Coastal Processes, Oceanographic Appli- 

 cations 



Report describes the applications of sateUite photos in geography, agriculture, forestry, 

 geology, hydrology, oceanography, and cartography. Several appUcations relate to coastal 

 studies. Excellent color photos from the Gemini and ApoUo programs are included, and 

 several show coastal features and processes; many are annotated. Coastal appUcations 

 discussed are water depths, coastal processes, and mapping. Coastal phenomena identified 

 on the photos include suspended sediment plumes, longshore currents, bottom features, and 

 sediment deposits. Examples of satelUte photo interpretation in compihng smaU-scale maps 

 of coastal features are also included.

HOWARD, JOHN A., Aerial Photo-Ecology, American Elsevier Pubhshing Co., New York, 

 1970, 350 pp. 



Keywords: Aerial Photographs, Ecology, Vegetation 



This book is not oriented toward coastal engineering, but it contains material useful in such 

 appUcations. The first part covers the characteristics of photos and the manner in which 

 they are influenced by the atmosphere and the interaction of Ught and vegetation. The 

 second, third, and fourth parts describe the planning of photo missions, the elements of 

 photogrammetry, and basic photo interpretation. The fifth part covers photo interpretation 

 techniques in geography, geology, biology, forestry, and ecology. Several chapters 

 emphasize forestry and is useful for coastal vegetation and ecology studies. An extensive 

 bibUography and several stereo photos are included.

 COMMITTEE ON REMOTE SENSING FOR AGRICULTURAL PURPOSES, Remote 

 Sensing with Special Reference to Agriculture and Forestry, National Academy of 

 Sciences, Washington, B.C., 1970, 424 pp. 



Keywords: Aerial Remote Sensors, Estuaries, Marshlands 



Book covers remote sensing appUcations in agriculture and forestry. Information on the 

 basic characteristics of remote sensors is presented. Material on the interaction of vegetation 

 and electromagnetic radiation is potentially useful to coastal engineers studying marshlands 

 and estuaries and monitoring the enviornmental effects of coastal engineering projects. 

 Although oriented toward agriculture and forestry, many of the techniques apply to other 

 remote sensing appUcations.
