             abstract = "The Wetlands of the Bolivian lowlands, in the southwestern portion 
                         of the Amazon Basin, are of great importance for hydrological and 
                         biogeochemical cycles for the whole basin: The proximity and 
                         influence of the Andes mountain range determines a high spatial 
                         and temporal variability of floods; the great proportion of 
                         herbaceous floodplains, the highest among the Amazon, defines a 
                         wide floodable area that retains different types of water an 
                         sediments from upstream. In addition, these extensive wetlands may 
                         play a role in climate regulation since they are relevant to 
                         energy fluxes and carbon cycle. Environmental change, mainly land 
                         use change, infrastructure projects and climate 
                         change-variability, are threatening the complex hydrological cycle 
                         in this area, where periodic flooding is crucial for human 
                         populations and ecosystems. Extreme climatic events have derived 
                         in great economic impacts while further damages in ecosystems and 
                         local populations are still undetermined. There is a lack of 
                         knowledge about wetlands and their functions. This, together with 
                         the disparity between perception and scientific evidence of 
                         environmental change impacts, are leading to null or inadequate 
                         responses. Thus, there is a growing demand to understand the 
                         functioning and dynamics of these wetlands. In this study, we 
                         integrate remote sensing with hydrologic modeling to represent 
                         flood processes in the Mamore and Itenez-Guapore basins. This 
                         approach make possible to study interactions between wetlands and 
                         the hydrometeorological regime of the watershed in an integral way 
                         and to provide elements for inferring the impacts of environmental 
                         change. This research contemplates different phases: flood mapping 
                         using remote sensing techniques, with passive and active systems 
                         (MODIS and ALOS-PALSAR), that will assist the parameterization of 
                         numerical routines for floodplains simulation in a hydrological 
                         model (MHD-INPE model); the simulation and analysis of the model 
                         outputs in terms of hydrometeorological processes and its 
                         influences on flood dynamics. This study will provide relevant 
                         information to ongoing scientific initiatives that seek to 
                         understand the landscape fragmentation processes during the 
                         Holocene and to delineate water resources management strategies in 
                         the Bolivian Lowlands.",
