Marine particles are an important component of marine ecosystems and play a crucial role in marine biogeochemical cycles. The MarSens group studies the spatiotemporal distribution, diversity, and ecological/biogeochemical roles of  particles in coastal and open ocean environments.\r\n\r\nThe group's research interests comprise: \r\n<ul><li>theoretical modelling of optical properties of marine particles;</li><li>biogeochemical characterisation of particles;</li><li>development of optical algorithms for remote sensing of particles;</li><li>development of optical sensors and methods for in situ (autonomous) observation of marine particles;</li><li>broad-ranging applications in marine biogeochemistry, plankton ecology and water quality.</li> </ul>\r\n\r\nThe research activities of MarSens include theoretical and laboratory work, sensor development, work at sea and analyses of multiplatform datasets (in situ and remote sensing) to address a wide range of research questions in marine ecology and biogeochemistry, including an improved understanding of the ocean's biological carbon pump.","AbstractOtherLang":"De onderzoeksgroep Marine Optics and Remote Sensing (MarSens) richt zich op de ontwikkeling en toepassing van in situ en remote sensing observaties van mariene deeltjes - levende en niet-levende, organische en anorganische - van het zeeoppervlak tot in de diepe oceaan. Mariene deeltjes zijn een belangrijke component van mariene ecosystemen en spelen een cruciale rol in mariene biogeochemische cycli. De MarSens-groep bestudeert de spatiotemporele distributie, diversiteit en ecologische/biogeochemische rol van deeltjes in kust- en open oceaanomgevingen.\r\n\r\nDe onderzoeksinteresses van de groep omvatten: \r\n<ul><li>theoretische modellering van optische eigenschappen van mariene deeltjes;</li><li>biogeochemische karakterisering van deeltjes;</li><li>ontwikkeling van optische algoritmen voor teledetectie van deeltjes;</li><li>ontwikkeling van optische sensoren en methoden voor in situ (autonome) observatie van mariene deeltjes;</li><li>brede toepassingen in mariene biogeochemie, planktonecologie en waterkwaliteit.</li> </ul>\r\n\r\nDe onderzoeksactiviteiten van MarSens omvatten theoretisch werk en laboratoriumwerk, sensorontwikkeling, werk op zee en analyses van multiplatform datasets (in situ en remote sensing) om een breed scala aan onderzoeksvragen in mariene ecologie en biogeochemie aan te pakken, waaronder een beter begrip van de biologische koolstofpomp van de oceaan.","AbstractLangCode":null,"AbstractLangID":null,"AbstractLang":null,"AbstractLangNL":null,"SuccessorOfInsID":null,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2024-06-04 01:34:19.073000","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+00:00"},"PrevIns":null,"PrevAcro":null,"PublicFlag":1,"CheckedFlag":0,"ParID":471,"InstituteType":"Scientific","EnvName":"Belgium","ISO3166":"BE","LevelName":null,"ND":"2023-06-14","UD":"2023-06-20","EncAddress":", K.L.
