University of Maine would like to invite applicants to the 2025 offering of the University of Maine’s long-running, hands-on optical oceanography graduate training course, “Calibration and Validation of Ocean Color Remote Sensing.”
The course will meet from May 18-Jun 14 2025, at UMaine’s Darling Marine Center in Walpole, Maine, USA.
Course elements will include:
- Lectures on the basic theory of the light interaction with matter in aquatic environments;
ocean color remote sensing and its inversion; optical sensor design and function; optical
approaches to ocean biogeochemistry; and computation and propagation of measurement
uncertainties
- Laboratory sessions for hands-on work with optical instrumentation and training in
radiative transfer software
- Field sampling of optical and biogeochemical variables in the environmentally diverse
waters of coastal Maine
- Analysis of optical and biogeochemical data sets
- Collaborative student projects
Applications are requested by February 15, 2025.
