REMOTE SENSING OF COASTAL AREAS 
by G. Konecny 
Technical University Hannover 
Fed. Rep. of Germany 
1. Introduction 
The applicability of remote sensing in coastal areas is being 
investigated at the Institute of Photogrammetry of the 
Technical University of Hannover. The Institute collaborates 
with the neighbouring institutes of surveying, geodesy and 
carthography within the special research program on survey and 
remote sensing procedures of coastal and marine areas instituted 
by the German Research Foundation in the development of 
techniques for applications of remote sensing in these areas. 
The institute was fortunate to have the opportunity to integrate 
its efforts into the German Aircraft Program on Remote Sensing, 
sponsored by the German Federal Ministry on Research and Technology 
and administered by the DFVLR, the German Space Agency. 
Area of investigation was the Wilhelmhaven coastal area at the 
North Sea. It served as test area I A of the German Aircraft Program. 
The area of Wilhelmshaven constitutes the only deep water port of 
the Federal Republik of Germany. 
New industries are settling there, among them a refinery and 
an oil harbour. New land is being created on which new secondary 
industry, particularly chemical industry, is settling. 
The remote sensing research program is being conducted in cooperation 
with several organizations: 
- The Institute of Photogrammetry of the Technical University 
Hannover with 1o regular Institute members, and with 8 members 
of the special research area financed by the German Research 
Foundation; 
- The DFVLR (the German Space Agency) in Oberpfaffenhofen; 
- The Senckenberg Institute for Marine Geology and Marine Biology 
in Wilhelmshaven; 
- The Wasserwirtschaftsamt Wilhelmshaven (the local water 
quality authority); 
The problem areas under investigation concern: 
1. Sedimentation of the water 
2. Water pollution 
Ecological change as seen in tidal flats
