Speaker: Dr. Ved Chirayath,

Director of the Aircraft Center for Earth Studies (ACES) at University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science (RSMAES)

Abstract:

We have mapped more of the surface of the Moon and Mars than our own ocean floor—but that is changing. Professor Ved Chirayath will present three remote sensing technologies he invented during his time at NASA. These technologies will help us better understand Earth’s marine environments while furthering the search for life on other planets.

Keywords: Remote sensing, ocean observation, citizen science
