Research group

Group Kratzer: The Marine Remote Sensing Group

The Marine Remote Sensing Group uses optical measurements in aquatic systems (mostly Baltic Sea and Lake Vänern) combined with satellite data to improve environmental monitoring of aquatic ecosystems. The data is also used to assess effects of climate change.

About me

I am a researcher specialising in ocean colour remote sensing, currently investigating how optical remote sensing satellite data can be used to measure key water quality parameters in the Baltic Sea across both space and time. My project is concerned with investigating the effects of environmental change on phytoplankton phenology in the region.

During my PhD, I developed and validated novel methodologies for the retrieval of optically active water constituents and properties, specifically within the NW Baltic Sea and the western Irish Sea regions.

My expertise lies in remote sensing, with my PhD being in Geocomputation (Ocean Colour Remote Sensing). I also hold a MSc in GIS and Remote Sensing, and a BA in Geography and English.

Teaching

During my MSc and PhD, I worked part-time as a tutor and demonstrator for both undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

Research

Currently, my research focuses on ocean colour remote sensing in the Baltic Sea region. More broadly, I have research interests in multispectral and hyperspectral remote sensing, LiDAR, photogrammetry, GIS, and machine learning.
