Post-Doctoral Research Opportunity in Southern Ocean Bio-optics
Post-Doctoral Research Opportunity in Southern Ocean Bio-optics Introduction The Southern Ocean plays a very important role in the global carbon-climate system taking up an estimated ~50% of anthropogenic CO 2 . Ocean colour remote sensing is particularly useful in understanding chronically under-sampled marine environments (such as the polar oceans) and there is thus a need to develop and apply emerging techniques to derive information from ocean colour that will allow new insight into the Southern Ocean ecosystem function. The Southern Ocean Carbon and Climate Observatory (SOCCO) is a multi-institutional South African initiative led by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) ...
