A supplementary project will be carried out, titled: Biogeochemical and optical properties of the Coral Sea and Queensland Shelf.
Lead principal investigator
Karen Wild-Allen – CSIRO Oceans & Atmosphere
Additional principal investigators
Mark Baird, Lesley Clementson – CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere
Objectives
In the supplementary project, we aim to:
- collect high resolution biogeochemical observations for validation of the 4km and 1km near real time eReefs models
- get modellers in the field to better understand methods and issues associated with modern methods of data collection
- collect in situ optical data for the NASA CORAL project which is operating a very high resolution airborne hyperspectral sensor along selected transects in the GBR.
