Description
This fellowship opportunity, offered through the NRC Research Associateship Programs at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in Washington, DC, supports postdoctoral research in remote sensing of environmental phenomena. The research aims to enhance understanding of atmospheric, oceanic, and terrestrial processes shaping the Earth. Key research areas include:
- Sensor systems development and application (active, polarimetric, hyperspectral, thermal, multispectral)
- Image processing techniques
- Atmospheric compensation methods
- Automated classification and target recognition algorithms
- Environmental analysis focusing on atmosphere, ocean/atmosphere boundary, coastal processes, and open ocean
The NRL provides access to a wide array of sensor systems, calibration facilities, and computational resources to support these research activities.
