<meta content="The study investigated the use of aerial photographs, acquired in 1950 and 1991, for assessing the temporal dynamics
of mangroves along theWest Alligator River in Australia’s Northern Territory. For both years, mangrove extent
was mapped using an unsupervised classification of the digital orthomosaic and Digital ElevationModels (DEMs),
or height maps, of the mangrove canopy were derived from stereo pairs. Helicopter and field observations in 1998
and 1999 respectively provided ground truth for interpreting the derived datasets. The comparison of mangrove
extent revealed a substantial movement over the 41-year period, perhaps in response to hydrological changes that
have resulted in a landward extension of saline conditions. Changes in the height of mangroves were observed but
were difficult to quantify due to the reduced quality of the 1950 DEM. The study demonstrated the viability of
using time-series of aerial photography for monitoring and understanding the long-term response of mangroves to
environmental change, including hydrological variations and sea level rise." name="eprints.abstract" />

of mangroves along theWest Alligator River in Australia’s Northern Territory. For both years, mangrove extent
was mapped using an unsupervised classification of the digital orthomosaic and Digital ElevationModels (DEMs),
or height maps, of the mangrove canopy were derived from stereo pairs. Helicopter and field observations in 1998
and 1999 respectively provided ground truth for interpreting the derived datasets. The comparison of mangrove
extent revealed a substantial movement over the 41-year period, perhaps in response to hydrological changes that
have resulted in a landward extension of saline conditions. Changes in the height of mangroves were observed but
were difficult to quantify due to the reduced quality of the 1950 DEM. The study demonstrated the viability of
using time-series of aerial photography for monitoring and understanding the long-term response of mangroves to
environmental change, including hydrological variations and sea level rise.</p></div><table style="margin-bottom: 1em" cellpadding="3" class="not_ep_block" border="0"><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Item Type:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">Article</td></tr><tr><th valign="top" class="ep_row">Additional Information:</th><td valign="top" class="ep_row">The original publication is available at www.springerlink.com
