Introduction
My work focuses on the environmental changes that occur in the coastal wetlands of Samborombon Bay in Argentina due to anthropogenic modifications in the hydrological regime. There are protected natural areas, however, a large part of the wetland is private, being extensive cattle ranching, which is the main productive activity in this area. To expand the cattle grazing areas, many producers make embankments to claim salt marshes land.

Samborombón Bay in Argentina is one of the largest coastal wetlands of South America. The Ajó wetlands are located to the south of Samborombón Bay and despite being protected natural areas, the land is privately owned and used for extensive cattle ranching where producers build embankments to reclaim salt marshes land and expand cattle grazing area...
South America is the continent of wetlands, which represents more than 20% of its surface. Since the ecological integrity of wetlands strongly depends on their water sources and dynamics, it is fundamental to understand their hydrology. Large wetlands are usually located in inaccessible areas where remote sensing results are a fundamental tool for...
