Arctic-COLORS: COastal Land Ocean inteRactionS in the Arctic: Arctic-COLORS is a proposed NASA program that combines field process studies, models, and remote-sensing, to study the coastal Arctic as an integrated land-ocean-atmosphere system, to determine present and future impacts of terrigenous, atmospheric and oceanic fluxes on coastal ecology, biogeochemistry, and ecosystem services. The aim of the town hall is to update the community and obtain feedback.
Monday, November 9 | 5 - 6:30 pm OCC - C 123-124
Benefits and Challenges of Diurnal (hourly) Ocean Remote Sensing - Science and Applications: Future satellite observations can provide hourly measurements of coastal regions from NASA’s GEO-CAPE mission. This capability is necessary to study estuarine and shelf waters to monitor water quality, detect/track hazards, and improve models. The aim is to provide an update on GEO-CAPE and obtain input from managers and scientists.
Tuesday, November 10 | 5 - 6:30 pm OCC - C 123-124
