Session Description: This special paper session serves as a forum for researchers to communicate their current development regarding the use and applications of spatial information technologies for coastal and watershed analysis.  You are invited to submit abstracts for presentations in this special paper session. Aspects considered include, but not limited to:  
Nearshore bathymetry, shoreline erosion, and coastal morphodynamics;
Characterization, analysis, and modeling of changing watershed landscape structure and patterns in coastal environments;
Coastal wetland mapping and change detection;
Hydrological and nutrient modeling in coastal watersheds;
Remote sensing of coastal water quality (chlorophyll concentration, turbidity, TSS and others);
Mapping of seagrasses, littoral aquatic vegetation, and benthic habitats;
Linking conditions in upstream watersheds to downstream estuaries for integrated assessment of the estuarine ecosystems; and
Coastal watershed management and case studies.
