ME54C:
Frontiers in Ocean Color Remote Sensing: Science and Challenges IV Posters


Session ID#: 11308

Session Description:
The advent of satellite oceanography in late 1970's has given rise to a realization that our ocean plays a critical role in weather, climate and sustaining life on Earth.  Satellites have revolutionized our understanding of linkages among the ocean and other components of the Earth system and have revealed a diversity and complexity in ocean ecosystems not previously appreciated.  Further, the explosive growth of human populations along coastal margins places increasing pressure on these ecosystems, modifying natural processes and putting life, health, and property at risk from hazards inherent to the ocean. Scientific observations from the vantage point of space help solve important problems. Advanced technologies and frequent, repeated, multi-scale satellite observations, in combination with field measurements, are essential for observing and predicting changes.

Without global ocean color satellite data, humanity loses its capacity to take Earth’s pulse, explore its unseen world, and monitor our living marine resources. This session explores the next generation of ocean science questions from satellites and challenges to those observations from science, technology, and modeling perspectives.  Our goal is not only to understand and monitor the Earth’s changing climate and ecosystems, but also to enable the next generation of students to make new discoveries.
