摘要
Wetlands are dynamic environments, the water and vegetation of which can change considerably over time. Thus, it is important to investigate the hydroperiod status of wetlands using advanced techniques such as remote sensing technology. Wetland hydroperiod analysis has already been investigated using optical satellite and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) backscattering data. However, interferometric SAR (InSAR) coherence products have rarely been used for wetland hydroperiod mapping. Thus, this study utilized Sentinel-1 coherence maps produced between 2017 and 2020 (48 products) to map the wetland hydroperiod over the entire province of Alberta, Canada. It was observed that a coherence value of 0.45 was an optimum threshold value to discriminate flooded from non-flooded wetlands. Moreover, the results showed that most wetlands were inundated less than 50% of the time over these four years. Furthermore, most wetlands (similar to 40%) were seasonally inundated, and there was a small percentage of wetlands (similar to 5%) that were never flooded. Overall, the results of this study demonstrated the high capability of InSAR coherence products for wetland hydroperiod analysis. Several suggestions are provided to improve the results in future works.
