The research program has six main teams looking at:

  • remote sensing of coastal waters
  • remote sensing technologies and applications
  • aquatic remote sensing
  • ecohydrology, remote sensing and climatology/meteorology
  • remote sensing and water and energy cycles
  • terrestrial remote sensing and ecohydrology

Research Program Leader
