Summary
This research proposal is part of a larger project: the Green Edge project, which aims at determining the impact of climate change on the spring bloom of phytoplankton and the marine ecosystem of the Arctic Ocean. This project proposes the development of new approaches to monitor the marine ecosystems and their relationship with the environmental conditions in a changing Arctic Ocean using space-based EO technologies. This project would provide sound basis for the deployment of future potential microsatellite missions using ocean-colour sensors such as WATERSAT.

Description (French)
Ce projet de recherche fait partie d'un projet plus vaste: le projet Green Edge, qui vise à déterminer l'impact du changement climatique sur la floraison printanière du phytoplancton et l'écosystème marin de l'océan Arctique. Ce projet propose le développement de nouvelles approches pour surveiller les écosystèmes marins et leur relation avec les conditions environnementales dans l'océan Arctique en changement en utilisant les technologies de l'OT depuis l'espace. Ce projet vise à fournir une base solide pour le déploiement des futures missions de microsatellites potentiels à l'aide des capteurs pour observer la couleur de l'océan tels que WATERSAT.
