Research Experience
Undergraduate Research Experience 2006 Oceanic Marine Science
Antarctica Temperature Mapping May 2006 to July 2006
Estimating Antarctic Firn Average Emissivity Trends at the Ski Hi Automatic Weather Station
Firn is compacted, near-surface snow enduring for more than one season not yet compressed into glacial ice. Knowledge of firn surface temperature trends across the Antarctic ice sheet is useful for documenting and quantifying change and providing a temporal and spatial context for research during the Antarctic International Polar Year (IPY). Satellite passive microwave radiometer data can provide surface temperature trend estimates across limited temporal and spatial gaps in Automatic Weather Station (AWS) coverage. Techniques to derive surface temperatures from passive microwave data have been pioneered by Jezek et al., (1993) and. Shuman et al., (1995).

Multimedia Research Team Automated Approach of Cataloguing TeraScan Images utilizing Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF) Data
Tasked with the responsibility of receiving remotely sensed Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and Sea Wide Field-of-View Sensor (SeaWiFS) data for research projects year round. This data is collected, processed, annotated, and transformed into images in the Tagged Image File Format (tiff). These tiff images are then uploaded to the CERSER archive library. December 2005 to May 2006
