Senior Research Scientist Catherine Mitchell studies the smallest lifeforms in the ocean - from hundreds of miles up. To do so, she uses satellite observations of ocean color to understand the ocean’s ecology at a global scale. Bigelow Laboratory has helped advance the field of satellite oceanography since its inception. Scientists develop mathematical models to interpret satellite data, have used remote sensing to track pollution and algal blooms, and work with NASA to monitor changing conditions in the Gulf of Maine. Join Mitchell as she dives into some of these advances and discusses how satellites help her understand climate change impacts on the global ocean.
