In 2015 the goal of my M.Sc thesis described the Gulf of Mexico Dynamics using the inherent optical proprieties.
my PhD research is focus on the Secchi Disk use in monitoring programs. One article derivate of this thesis is already send (in September) to Limnology and Oceanography Methods and describe what optical deep we need use to calculate the Kd depend of the Secchi disk deep.
Sea regions of study
