About
Jeremy Werdell is a leading oceanographer whose research focuses on satellite ocean color remote sensing, atmospheric correction, and the optical properties of aquatic ecosystems. He has made foundational contributions to improving the accuracy of satellite-derived measurements of ocean biology and water quality. His most-cited work, with over 340 citations, introduced new aerosol models for the SeaWiFS and MODIS sensors, enabling more precise retrievals of aerosol optical thickness and normalized water-leaving radiances over both coastal and open ocean waters. This work has been critical for advancing global monitoring of phytoplankton, carbon cycling, and coastal water quality. Werdell’s research has shaped NASA’s ocean color missions, and he has played a key role in the development of the Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission. His contributions have been widely recognized, and his work continues to influence the next generation of satellite oceanography.
