Ocean colour remote sensing for wetland mapping and chlorophyll concentration monitoring with spontaneous fluorescence and stimulated emission
People Involved
Project Description
The environmental status of marine waters plays an important role in monitoring the water extending from the shoreline to deep oceanic waters. Current reporting is based on expensive ship-based surveys that have very limited spatio-temporal coverage. Satellite based ocean colour remote sensing has the potential to significantly enhance monitoring capabilities.
Existing algorithms for chlorophyll concentration break down in turbid coastal waters subject to sediment resuspension or high concentrations of coloured dissolved organics in freshwater run-off. This project will tackle this problem by addressing two critical bottlenecks. Firstly, we will use advanced machine learning techniques to automatically identify optical water types and establish Chl algorithm performance using existing in situ datasets. Secondly, we will map wetland and link it to water quality.
In this project, we will use existing state-of-the-art machine learning approaches to categorise optical signals from ocean colour imagery, for monitoring/inspection of coastal regions.

MOSAiC: Floe-scale observation and quantification of Arctic sea ice breakup and floe size during the autumn-to-summer transition Jan 1, 2021 - Apr 30, 2022
The seasonal cycle of sea ice freeze-up, deformation, breakup and melt is an important feedback that affects the decline of Arctic sea ice. Thinner, smaller summer ice floes in the expanding marginal ice zone (MIZ) could lead to the formation...
