2024 IOCCG Summer Lecture Series
Frontiers in Ocean Optics and Ocean Colour Science: 4-16 November 2024
Overview
The 6th edition of the advanced IOCCG Summer Lecture Series was held from 4-16 November 2024 in Hyderabad, India at the International Training Centre for Operational Oceanography (ITCOOcean) at the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS).
As in previous years held in Villefranche-sur-Mer, France, this high-level training course was dedicated to the fundamentals of ocean optics, bio-optics and ocean colour remote sensing. Several distinguished research scientists provided lectures on cutting edge research, with focus on current critical issues in ocean colour science.
Video recordings and PDF presentations are below, and material from previous IOCCG Summer Lecture Series are available at https://ioccg.org/what-we-do/training-and-education/lectures/.
