AHS2005: The 2005 airborne imaging spectroscopy campaign in the Millingerwaard, the Netherlands

The Millingerwaard was one of the first nature rehabilitation projects for river floodplains in the Netherlands. It therefore serves as an example project for other floodplain rehabilitation projects. As a consequence a lot of effort has been put in monitoring the vegetation succession in the floodplain.
