Interests

I'm interested in remote sensing applications, coastal oceanography, marine optics and atmospheric research. My field work is concentrated in the Benguela upwelling area, the Baltic Sea, NW-Africa and Indonesian waters.

 Topics

• Study of hydrogen sulphide events and sulfur plumes in Namibian coastal area
• Measurement and interpretation of inherent and apparent optical water properties
• Coastal processes in Namibian waters, Baltic Sea, NW-Africa and Indonesian waters
• Validation of ocean color and microwave satellite sensors
• Investigation of phytoplankton blooms
• Analysis of optical measurements from Gliders and Argo floats
• Remote sensing of submarine volcanic eruptions
• Influence of Saharan dust on optical water properties and phytoplankton development
• Impact of Saharan dust on Level-2 products of ocean color and microwave sensors
• Spectral effects of Saharan dust on PAR in comparison to the impact of clouds
• Spectral effects of atmospheric dust on the estimation of chlorophyll-a concentration
