Creating a data repository for Nordic and Arctic regions for Earth Observation data from polar orbiting satellites, serving research and application in marine, polar and climate sciences.
By 2020 Norway aims to be an internationally leading country in the integrated use of satellite Earth Observation data for: (i) research and application targeting the environmental, ecosystem and climate changes in the Nordic and Arctic regions, and (ii) knowledge based support to management and industry.
To retrieve high resolution quantitative information of ocean surface currents, using Synthetic Aperture Radar imagery.
The goal of the project is to retrieve high resolution quantitative information of ocean surface currents, using Synthetic Aperture Radar imagery. The work is split into three modules:
Module 1: Further develop and validate the Radar Imaging Model (RIM)
Assess and establish an inventory of European and Chinese capacities in marine monitoring for environment and security using satellite Earth observation technologies.
DRAGONESS is a specific support action project funded for 3 years by the European Commission under the FP6-Aerospace Contract No. SST5-CT-2006-030902. The DRAGONESS project will assess and establish an inventory of European and Chinese capacities in marine monitoring for environment and security.
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System for satellite data processing in the polar regions covering sea ice mapping, iceberg detection and glacier monitoring.
Physical oceanographer with main research expertise within monitoring of harmful algae blooms, waters quality and marine ecosystem studies. Has lead the initiation and development of the operational research and applications of ocean colour satellite EO data for monitoring of algae blooms and water quality in coastal and marine waters.
Interest in capacity building through supervision of international students and organizing international research schools in Norway and abroad for PhD and Post-docs.
