Dr Gavin Tilstone
Plymouth Marine Laboratory, UK
Dr Tilstone is a lead scientist in remote sensing of coastal water quality at PML in the UK. He leads the team that has created a UK case AquaWatch for Pymouth using CSIRO’s Open Data Cube (ODC) and Australian Data Integration and Analysis System (ADIAS) environments to assess the effect of agricultural and urban run-off from flooding on local marine ecosystems (seagrass beds and inter-tidal mud flats) in the Western English Channel Observatory, UK and Fitzeroy River, Australia. Data from the western English Channel Observatory and local rivers and estuaries, are being integrated into the ODC and ADIAS to develop new EO water quality products to monitor the health of rivers and to minimise their impacts on the Plymouth Sound coastal zone. He is visiting NIWA to investigate potential collaboration on remote sensing for coastal waters.
His presentation will cover:
1. AMT: The use of autonomous instrumentation for the validation of Sentinel-1, -2 and -3 and the development of CO2 flux and ocean acidification algorithms using multi-sensor data (see recent ESA funded contract AMT4CO2Flux: Home ).
2. Vis4Sea: the work on AquaWatch with CSIRO (see Monitoring water quality in Plymouth Sound and beyond – Plymouth Marine Laboratory (pml.ac.uk)).
3. S-3 EUROHAB: The development of an early warning system for HABs using EO data and digital twins (see S-3 EUROHAB : Sentinel products for detecting EUtROphication and Harmful Algal Bloom events and PML awarded funding to develop state-of-the-art digital twin for harmful algal bloom monitoring – Plymouth Marine Laboratory).
