Limnology and oceanography, methods ASLO, 13(3), 138-155. https://doi.org/10.1002/lom3.10014

This study presents a methods evaluation and intercalibration of active fluorescence-based measurements of the quantum yield (ϕʹ 0 PSII) and absorption coefficient (aPSII) of photosystem II (PSII) photochemistry. Measurements of ϕʹ PSII , aPSII, and...

Decrease in water clarity of the southern and central North Sea during the 20th century (2015)
Journal Article
Capuzzo, E., Stephens, D., Silva, T., Barry, J., & Forster, R. M. (2015). Decrease in water clarity of the southern and central North Sea during the 20th century. Global change biology, 21(6), 2206-2214. https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.12854

Light in the marine environment is a key environmental variable coupling physics to marine biogeochemistry and ecology. Weak light penetration reduces light available for photosynthesis, changing energy fluxes through the marine food web. Based on pu...

Marine ecology progress series, 494, 1-27. https://doi.org/10.3354/meps10539

ABSTRACT: Although the terms 'health' and 'healthy' are often applied to marine ecosystems and communicate information about holistic condition (e.g. as required by the Ecosystem Approach), their meaning is unclear. Ecosystems have been understood in... Read More about Framework for understanding marine ecosystem health.

Processing and exploitation of multisensor optical data for coastal water applications-The HIGHROC project
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ruddick, K., Brockmann, C., Créach, V., De Keukelaere, L., Doxaran, D., Forster, R., Jaccard, P., Knaeps, E., Lebreton, C., Ledang, A. B., Nechad, B., Norli, M., Novoa, S., Ody, A., Pringle, N., Sorensen, K., Stelzer, K., Van Der Zande, D., & Vanhellemont, Q. Processing and exploitation of multisensor optical data for coastal water applications-The HIGHROC project

The FP7/HIGHROC ("HIGH spatial and temporal Resolution Ocean Colour") Project is developing the next generation of optical products for coastal water services. These products are based on both mainstream ocean colour sensors (Sentinel-3/OLCI, VIIRS)...
