MicroCasi Project 2017: Mapping of Coastal Ecosystems - Biogeochemical Data

This dataset includes biogeochemical parameters analyzed in the laboratory from water samples, including chlorophyll a, suspended particulate matter, cyanobacteria and prokaryote counts and CDOM absorption. Related optical data are available via the following dataset:

The microCASI hyperspectral sensor was flown on September 11, 2017, in the Forestville area and on September 14, 2017, in the Bay of Sept-Île area. With the collaboration of Fish and Oceans Canada (DFO) and the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS), fieldwork was carried out in support of the airborne imagery acquisition. The main objective of these acquisitions was to map the nearshore coastal ecosystems (e.g. eelgrass meadows, macroalgae, saltmarsh) and derived bathymetry of the nearshore zone. Surface water was sampled for basic-optical and biogeochemical parameters analysis presented in this dataset.
