The MORSE group has wide ranging interests in all aspects of marine optics, from single cell optical properties to mapping material distributions across ocean basins from ocean colour remote sensing. Our fundamental philosophy is the application of rigorous physics to problems that are intrinsically interdisciplinary in nature. Current research activities include:
- Ocean colour remote sensing for optically complex natural water systems
- Monitoring physical-biogeochemical interactions from space
- Quantitative inherent optical property (IOP) measurements
- Sources and magnitude of variability of optically active constituents
- Effect of multiple scattering on optical signals in the marine environment
