NASA Sponsored Workshop on Calibration and Validation of Ocean Color Remote Sensing

NASA's Ship-Aircraft Bio-Optical Research (SABOR)

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.
