Student Opportunities
As part of our educational mission, we are mentoring a group of UNCW students with an interest in CubeSats, Ocean Color, and Satellite Oceanography.
Satellite Oceanography touches upon a broad range of fields: engineering, data science, marine biology, physics, biogeochemistry and computer programming.
Student Opportunities
At the moment there are 2 main pathways for students: the Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Cubesat Club or with our partner .
If you have an interest in any aspect of ocean color or satellite research, we are always looking for bright and motivated students!
Areas of Interest
- Ocean color algorithm development
- Machine learning, Fine-scale variability in ocean physics
- Biology and biogeochemistry
- Phytoplankton Ecology
- Ocean optics
- Salinity
- Classification algorithms
- Big data
- Visualization Tools
- Cubesat technology
- Outreach and citizen science
