Marine Optics and Remote Sensing Laboratory
Our group is interested in problems of radiance transfer in seawater, light utilisation by phytoplankton, optical monitoring of ecological processes, and remote sensing in the marine environment. These problems all involve the application of physical principles in an interdisciplinary context. Activities range from in situ measurement of optical properties at sea from ships and other platforms, through radiative transfer simulations of underwater and water leaving light fields, to development of new algorithms for interpretation of ocean colour remote sensing data from satellite-borne sensors.
About us – The MORSE group currently has six members and has more than £1.1m funding from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), the Marine Alliance for Science and Technology Scotland (MASTS), the Scottish Government and the European Space Agency. David McKee currently holds a NERC Advanced Research Fellowship.
Collaborations – We work closely with colleagues from across Scotland, the UK and worldwide. See research project pages for specific details. The group is a member of the Marine Alliance for Science and Technology Scotland (MASTS) research pool. We are also a founding partner of the Ultrafast Advanced Spectroscopy Shared Facility: http://www.ultrachemphys.org
