Third IOCCG Summer Lecture Series 2016 Frontiers in Ocean Optics and Ocean Colour Science
Villefranche-sur-Mer, France 18 to 30 July 2016
Overview
The third IOCCG Summer Lecture Series, dedicated to high-level training in the fundamentals of ocean optics, bio-optics and ocean colour remote sensing will take place at the Laboratoire d’Océanographie de Villefranche (LOV), in Villefranche-sur-Mer, France from 18 to 30 July 2016. This laboratory is part of the Observatoire Océanologique de Villefranche (OOV), and hosts the Marine Optics and Remote Sensing group (MORS, www.obs-vlfr.fr/LOV/OMT/).
Several distinguished scientists will provide lectures on cutting edge research, focusing on current critical issues in ocean colour science. Students will be given ample opportunity to meet with the lecturers for in-depth discussions on various pre-selected topics, as well as on their own scientific research.
Reports of the IOCCG 2012 Summer Lecture Series and the 2014 Summer Lecture Series are available online.
Course content
The emphasis of the course will be on current critical issues in ocean colour science, and will consist of lectures by specialists as well as a few hands-on practical sessions. Lectures will cover the following topics:
- Inherent Optical Properties (inversion and applications in coastal and open ocean waters)
- Errors and uncertainties in ocean colour remote sensing (emphasis on inverse modelling)
- Radiative transfer in the ocean: shallow water remote sensing and HydroLight training
- Atmospheric correction of ocean colour remote sensing observations
- Advanced ocean colour remote sensing products for ocean carbon cycle and biogeochemistry
- Optics from autonomous platforms: linking IOPs to biogeochemistry and remotely sensed ocean colour (including hands-on exercises)
- Phytoplankton variability and climate change
- Retrieving phytoplankton biomass and functional groups
- In situ measurements
- Ocean colour remote sensing in turbid coastal waters
- Optics of marine particles (phytoplankton, minerogenic particles, colloids, bubbles)

Selected Students
Over 140 excellent applications were received for the 2016 Summer Lecture Series , but regrettably the total number of students accepted had to be restricted to just 22 for logistical and financial reasons. The Selections Committee evaluated all applications based on the candidate’s knowledge of remote sensing, previous training, current area of research and the potential to apply the knowledge and skills gained to future research. Congratulations to the final selected students listed below.

Video Recordings of Lectures
Because of the limited number of students that could be accommodated at the 2016 Summer Lecture Series, all lectures were recorded and the videos and PowerPoint presentations have been made available online via the IOCCG website, as was done for the previous lecture series (see
http://www.ioccg.org/training/lectures.html). This material provides a valuable teaching resource and the files have been downloaded thousands of times by students from around the world.
