Can optical water types be used as ecological indicators? Insights from a temperate estuary

Monitoring water quality and understanding how estuarine ecosystems respond to environmental changes is essential to sustain their ecological integrity and associated ecosystem services. In this study, we demonstrate that Optical Water Type (OWT) classification from Sentinel-2 MSI can be used as a s...
