About the grant
The proposed research programme consists of two subprojects: I) validation and algorithm development for Sentinel-2 and Sentinel-3, including development of regional turbidity, chlorophyll and Secchi depth algorithms through remote sensing and bio-optical methods. II) Improvement of monitoring methods and coastal management through better estimation of nutrients from land to sea. The programme builds on ESA's ENVISAT programme and uses data from the Copernicus programme to measure water components from space and monitor water quality and environmental changes in the sea over time.
