on Ocean Policy, 2001. (Home Page) Member: AGU; ASLO; PORSEC (Steering Committee) Biographical Sketch My research on primary production in the sea takes advantage of the new technologies based on satellite remote sensing, archiving of large data sets, networking, and high-speed computing. This research helps in the location and monitoring of large-scale phenomena, of phenomena important in climate control and climate change and in the interpretation of numerical models of the ocean. In my lab we pursue an intensive analysis of data from various satellites, the space shuttle, ships, buoys, and other platforms. This process has helped my students to develop international collaborative programs to collect ground data as well as to disseminate satellite data. The focus of my present work is to determine if satellites that measure ocean color and sea surface temperature can be used to assess the importance of continental margins, including areas of upwelling and river discharge in the global carbon budget. Within this context, I work closely with NASA scientists and colleagues at other institutions to help develop reliable algorithms for measurement of phytoplankton and other materials in sea water from space. Of specific interest have been the plumes of the larger rivers of the world, as these provide a cause for the abundance of materials present in addition to phytoplankton. The academic program built around this research is forming with the scientists that will use the data from the satellites coming on line during the next decade and beyond.
