TRANSCRIPT
First I will show examples of radar mapping of hurricane surge extent and duration and optical mapping of the resultant marsh dieback along the Louisiana coast
Next we extend these works to hurricane Sandy surge persistence calculated from a series of SAR images collected after landfall
Sandy surge persistence is then associated with marsh dieback calculated based on optical image data
The presentation is an overview of the map products. Details of the data and the techniques used are available in a series of our publications and reports
Also included are maps prepared for emergency response operations under the March 2016 International Charter activation for Louisiana

Optical (passive) imaging measures the reflectance of sunlight from the earths surface
Radar (active) imaging provides its own illumination to record data day and night in nearly all weather conditions

Hurricane Sandy Surge Extent, Persistence and Marsh Change – along the 127 mile New Jersey Coast
Objectives
• Surge extent maps using calibrated radar TerraSAR-X and COSMO X-band images
• Surge persistence map using the radar flood extents
• Marsh condition change-sudden dieback using pre- and post optical data
• Marsh condition change association with surge persistence

The initial surge extent was based on methods documented by NOAA that uses water level, topography, and USGS high water marks.

Hurricane Sandy Surge
and Marsh Dieback in the
New Jersey Coastal Zone
Yellow line delineates the low lying coastal areas. The extent of the our surge and marsh change maps match coastal marsh extent (NJDEP (New Jersey Department of
Environmental Protection). 2010. 2007 Land use/land cover update). http://www.nj.gov/dep/gis/lulc07shp.html
Resilience described by marsh exposure to surge as determined by surge extent and persistence and the change in marsh condition.
Surge flooding mainly subcanopy -shows presence or absence of flooding

SAR-based surge persistence and optical-based marsh condition change revealed a region of high surge-related back-barrier marsh impacts extending about 20-km north of the Hurricane Sandy landfall track
Just to the north, lower persistence was generally aligned with little change in condition.
Outside of these regions, distinct patterns in persistence and condition were possibly related to freshwater mitigation, heterogeneity of marsh structure, and differential resilience.
Our approach and products provide resource management with a new and effective strategy for identifying and responding to surge persistence latent impacts to coastal resiliency.
International Charter activities in response to coastal flooding
Examples of March 2016 river flooding in Louisiana
Area to the northeast of Shreveport, Louisiana
Darker tones indicate lower backscatter – open water or water height at or above vegetation
Brighter tones indicate higher backscatter – for example, surface flooding beneath tree stands (riparian forest)
Using only one date, we do not know if the surface water extent is atypical
1Louisiana Oil Spill Coordinator's Office (based on 2002 Landsat Thematic Mapper Data)
Light blue - possible understory flooding of forest stands including riparian areas
Dark blue - open water including possible flooding of fields and grasslands
Permanent water bodies shown as black were extracted from the LOSCO1 database
Yellow- all other nonflooded landscape

Two TSX image collections were used to map surface water extent
Predate is 07 February 2008 (23:49:00 UTC)
Land areas with standing water in both 2008 and 2016 were excluded in the difference mapping. For example, the permanently flooded cypress forest surrounding Interstate 10 in the Pearl River basin is not included in the surface water map
