摘要：idalwetlandsincluding intertidal flatsare highly productive and have dynamic and diverse ecosystems. Despite the importance ofthe tidal flats and associated coastal habitats, theses areas are at risk due to high development pressure, such as reclamation andmarine pollution.Because of their poor accessibility,remote sensing techniques are the most effective tool for tidal flat observation.Particularly,microwave remote sensing using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system has great potential for quantitative monitoringand mapping of coastal wetlands.This study aims to review and develop effective methods of extracting geophysical information oftidalwetlands.Fullypolarimetric forward/inverse scattering models have been developed for quantitative estimation of geophysicalparameters.This study aims to review and develop effective methods of extracting geophysical information of intertidal mudflatsincluding surface geometric characteristics, such as the roughness of the scattering surface, from polarimetric SAR data.In addition,anextensionof previous study to fully polarimetricspace-borneSAR datasets is presented in this paper
