Graduate Research Research Opportunities in Remote Sensing Satellite Oceanography Research involves remote sensing physics, image processing techniques and oceanic modeling.
Research involves theoretical and numerical modeling and remote sensing data analysis.
Verification of models and algorithms using ship, aircraft and satellite data. Applications include monitoring estuarine pollutants, modeling coastal productivity, and managing living resources. Studies of Ocean Internal Waves Study of internal waves on the continental shelves using space shuttle and satellite data. The approach includes modeling internal waves to explain their visibility on remote sensing imagery,statistical characterization of internal waves on the continental shelves to quantify their motion, and description of their spatial stuctures. Internal waves play significant roles in vertical mixing, circulation,and energy and mass transport, as well as various coastal processes.
