Radar Remote Sensing of the Louisiana Wetlands to Study Delta Formation and Marsh Status

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has been collecting images of
Louisiana’s Gulf Coast since 2009, which has greatly supported research on various wetlands
topics such as land changes and delta formation. New technology developed by NASA and the
Jet Propulsion Laboratory,California Institute of Technology has allowed for data collection
with many beneficial implications for future research in coastal regions.
