"Controls on the Optical Properties of Coastal
Waters
in the Northern Gulf of Mexico"
PI: Michael J. Dagg, Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON)
This project uses laboratory and shipboard
experiments and measurements to determine the controls on the optical
properties of coastal waters, specifically, suspended inorganic particles,
organic particles, colloidal particles, and other dissolved organic materials.
This Earth Science project investigates controls on the optical properties of
coastal waters in a system dominated by a large river to provide a better
understanding of carbon cycling of coastal margins. This work supports a
primary goal of NASA's Earth Science Enterprise to improve assessment of the
global biogeochemical cycle of carbon.
