SeaHawk-HawkEye Ocean Color Remote Sensing

In 2022, we were awarded a multi-institution, academic/government/industry collaborative grant from the Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation to use the satellite ocean color imagery from the SeaHawk-HawkEye project for high-resolution coastal water quality analyses.

For more information, check out the (open-access) paper in Nature’s Scientific Data here: High-resolution ocean color imagery from the SeaHawk-HawkEye CubeSat mission.
