Personal Statement
- Powerful
remote sensing techniques have become available in the last
several years that facilitate the study of large-scale processes
in difficult environments. Whereas oceanographers have been
the primary users of remote sensing and now routinely use remotely
sensed data to monitor physical and biological properties of
ocean waters, few limnologists have used this tool to study
large lakes. The work of the students and faculty in the satellite
limnology group is aimed at advancing the use of remotely sensed
data to study lake properties. Satellite reconnaissance of lakes
forms an important complement to traditional limnologic (ship-based)
research methods.
