My research is interdisciplinary and combines elements of marine optics, remote sensing, organic geochemistry and photochemistry to promote a better quantitative understanding of various types of interactions between terrestrial and marine environments and their perturbations by climate change and human activities. It typically involves a combination of field work, laboratory-based analyses and experiments, remote sensing data and image analysis, and modeling.<\/p>\n<p>Research topics of particular interest include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Environmental and biogeochemical change in the Arctic Ocean<\/li>\n<li>Climate- and human-driven changes in estuarine\/coastal biogeochemistry and water quality<\/li>\n<li>Remote sensing of aquatic biogeochemical properties and water quality<\/li>\n<li>Impacts of UV radiation and photochemical processes on biogeochemical cycles<\/li>\n<li>Fate of land-derived carbon in the ocean and impacts on marine biogeochemistry<\/li>\n<li>Fate of contaminants in aquatic environments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Teaching<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>EE 302 Remote Sensing of the Environment<\/li>\n<li>EE\/BI 591 Bio-Optical Oceanography<\/li>\n<li>EE 422\/622 Aquatic Optics &amp; Remote Sensing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":15047,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/earth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/13734"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/earth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/earth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/earth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15047"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/earth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/13734\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21500,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/earth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/13734\/revisions\/21500"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/earth\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13734"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
