About

Dr. Susanne Kratzer is a leading researcher in aquatic remote sensing, specializing in the optical monitoring of lakes and coastal waters. Her work focuses on satellite-based water quality assessment, atmospheric correction, and the optical properties of water bodies. Dr. Kratzer’s most impactful contribution is her pioneering study on satellite-based water quality monitoring in Lake Vänern, Sweden (50 citations), which addressed critical gaps in meeting legislative requirements for one of Europe’s largest and most ecologically significant lakes. She has also advanced the field through rigorous evaluations of hyperspectral and ocean color sensors, including her assessment of PRISMA standard reflectance products (28 citations) and a comprehensive evaluation of atmospheric correction methods for Sentinel-3 OLCI (18 citations). Her research on the seasonal variability of Baltic aerosols (17 citations) provides foundational insights into aerosol optical properties over marine environments. Additionally, her work on temporal changes in remote sensing reflectance at Lake Vänern (6 citations) highlights long-term trends using AERONET-OC data. Dr. Kratzer’s contributions are vital for improving water quality monitoring and satellite data accuracy, directly supporting environmental management and policy.
