Biography
Research Fellow on two Canadian Space Agency GRIP projects aimed at producing remotely sensed water quality products for the lower Great Lakes and developing techniques for detection of harmful algal blooms from multispectral aquatic colour Collaboration with EU partners to initiate the use of ships of opportunity to demonstrate the value of above-water radiometry for water quality monitoring of European waters With support from the UK Natural Environment Research Council, developed inverse modelling methods for the retrieval of suspended sediments in UK shelf seas with the subsequent study of sediment properties in relation to tidal dynamics Reviewer for the journals Remote Sensing of Environment, Estuarine Coastal and Shelf Science, International Journal of Remote Sensing
Research Interest
Contributing to Water S&T by conducting research on aquatic optics and remote sensing of inland waters
