  abstract = {{T}he floods are an annual phenomenon on the {P}acific coast of {E}cuador and can become devastating during {E}l {N}ino years, especially in the {G}uayas watershed (32,300 km(2)), the largest drainage basin on the {S}outh {A}merican western side of the {A}ndes. {I}n this study, we used {ENVISAT} {ASAR} {GM} {SAR} images with a spatial resolution of 1 km to map the flooded areas between 2004 and 2008 and study the spatio-temporal dynamics of floods in the {G}uayas {B}asin. {M}aximum of likelihood supervised classification performed on {ASAR} images acquired during four consecutive dry seasons allowed us to identify five classes of land cover consistent with land use map. {F}rom the four wet seasons, we computed standardized anomalies of backscattering coefficient to detect changes between dry and wet season and tested different thresholds to identify flooded areas.},
