[Abstract]

　Satellite remote sensing was applied to monitoring and mapping of wetland environment. Satellite imageries from Landsat TM, JERS-1 SAR and other satellite sensors over typical wetlands from different areas of the world were retrieved, and satellite mosaic maps, vegetation maps and other environmental thematic maps were produced for several test sites with ground truth data. The selected test sites include Kushiro Mire in Japan, Matang Mangrove Forest in Malaysia, Pracho Khiri Kahn wetland in Thailand and several wetland areas in Australia. Sensor fusion techniques with different types of sensors and scaling techniques with different spatial resolution sensors were investigated as new data processing tools to monitor wetland environment and to produce thematic maps in local/regional/global scales.
