Detection of change in surface water areas and in their geographic
distribution on St. Lawrence Island [Amstislavski]
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/255.032

Summary
The major aim of this effort is to demonstrate the utility of integration of
the remotely sensed imagery data, acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging
Spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensors to detect the temporal and spatial changes
in the geographic distribution and area of surface water. The current effort
focuses on the coastal areas of St. Lawrence Island. As a Pacific Marine
Arctic Regional Synthesis (PacMARS) data product it provides an example of how
the implemented methodology can be applied to detect and map changes in
coastal open water areas for the period of 2000 to present in all coastal area
within the PacMARS study area, from Saint Lawrence Island and along the
coastal shelf of the Bering, the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas. The current
hydrological data set is for the years 2003 and 2012. It is useful in
analyzing the change in the coastlines and coastal water bodies (lakes and
streams), critical to the human activities related to the subsistence
lifestyles on the Island. Note that we considered only the water surfaces
showing an occurrency (i.e., number of water detections divided by the number
of available observation) above 35% on an annual basis.
