The International Ocean Colour Coordinating Group (IOCCG) Summer Lecture Series is dedicated to high-level training in the fundamentals of ocean optics, bio-optics and ocean colour remote sensing. Since 2012, these advanced training courses have taken place every two years during the summer months, and are held at the Laboratoire d’Océanographie de Villefranche (LOV) in Villefranche-sur-Mer, which is part of the IMEV (Institut de la Mer, de Villefranche), and hosts the Marine Optics and Remote Sensing group (MORS, www.obs-vlfr.fr/LOV/OMT/). The 2020 Summer Lecture Series is scheduled to take place from 22 June – 3 July 2020.
Several distinguished scientists will be invited to provide lectures on cutting edge research focusing on current critical issues in ocean colour science. A significant portion of the course will be dedicated to interactive discussion sessions between the students and lecturers. Students will be given ample opportunity for in-depth discussions with leaders in the field on various topics, both those discussed in the lecture series, as well as their own scientific research interests.
Several practical lab sessions will also be conducted to help students understand absorption, scattering and the colour of the ocean. Students will learn how to collect high-quality in situ data, and how to interpret the measurements. It should be noted that the Summer Lecture Series is an advanced training course, not suitable for beginners with limited knowledge of remote sensing. The course will address theoretical aspects and advanced science questions, rather than practical applications.
