characterization of the key water constituents in diverse
oceanic, coastal and ... measurements of optical properties of other water
constituents. These measurements are important both ... characterize the material in
suspension in water (chlorophyll concentration,
backscattering, and absorption), as ... polarization
will also be undertaken in waters which differ by their
biogeochemical properties (English Channel, the North Sea,
the Amazon river plume,….). These in situ polarized
hyperspectral measurements will then be confronted with more
traditional in situ measurements used to characterize the
particulate material. Within the framework of this thesis,
the candidate will then have to perform some measurements at
sea, and will also have to be able to process satellite
data. This work will be done in collaboration with various
members of the laboratory, ... www.ioccg.org/employment.html - 22 kB
