SeungHyun Son received the BS and MS degrees in oceanography from Pusan
National University, in Busan, South Korea in 1996 and 1998,
respectively. He received the PhD degree in oceanography from the
University of New Hampshire, in 2004. After postdoctoral appointments at
the Bedford Institute of Oceanography and the University of Maine, Dr.
Son joined STAR in 2007, working as a research scientist with Colorado
State University in support of SOCD/MECB at NOAA/NESDIS.
SeungHyun Son's current research is focused on validation/evaluation of
the satellite ocean color products such as VIIRS on SNPP and NOAA-20,
and algorithm development and application for the ocean color remote
sensing. My broader interests span monitoring water properties and
marine ecosystem using various satellite remote sensing and sea-measured
data, human/climate-induced changes in the coastal ecosystems,
understanding spatial/temporal variation of phytoplankton productivity
at various scales, and understanding interaction with physical structure
of marine ecosystem on phytoplankton.
