About
Dr. Sindy Sterckx is a leading expert in remote sensing and atmospheric correction, with a primary focus on advancing satellite data processing for aquatic environments. Her most impactful contribution is the development of the iCOR (Image Correction for Atmospheric Effects) algorithm, which enables precise atmospheric correction of satellite imagery from sensors like Landsat-8/OLI and Sentinel-2/MSI. This tool is uniquely versatile, capable of processing data over coastal, inland, and transitional waters as well as land surfaces, and can be adapted to both hyper- and multi-spectral radiometric sensors with minimal effort. Her seminal 2018 paper on iCOR validation has garnered over 216 citations, underscoring its significance in the field. Beyond this, Dr. Sterckx has made notable contributions to water quality monitoring and satellite data harmonization, bridging the gap between land and aquatic remote sensing. Her work is instrumental for researchers and practitioners studying environmental change, enabling more accurate and reliable Earth observation data.
