Abstract
The further development of two-dimensional finite element models of river flood flow is currently constrained by a lack of data for rigorous parameterization and validation. Remote sensing techniques have the potential to overcome a number of these constraints thereby allowing a research design for model development. This is illustrated with reference to a case study of a two-dimensional finite element model applied to the Missouri River, Nebraska and compared with a synchronous Landsat TM image of hood inundation extent. The case study allows research needs for the integration of hydraulic modelling and remote sensing to be defined. (C) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
