Bostater, Charles
Associate Professor
Ocean Engineering and Sciences
Florida Institute of Technology
United States of America
Biography
Dr. Bostater has been a member of the Remote Sensing Subcommittee and the Modeling and Monitoring Subcommittees of state and federal EPA Research and Restoration Programs for Chesapeake Bay. He has been involved with SPIE remote sensing conferences and symposiums, and ocean engineering passive optical and microwave sensors. Dr. Bostater also utilizes numerical techniques for coupling optical-biological and physical oceanography and atmospheric models in environmental toxicology and coastal aquatic systems.
Research Interest
Dr. BostaterÂ’s research concerns mathematical and numerical modeling of chemical transport, fate of chemicals, remote sensing, hydrological optics, radiative transfer modeling, geophysical fluid dynamics and estuarine and coastal physical oceanography.
