Prof. Steve Groom, PI of PRIMUS and PML Head of Science, Earth Observation Science and Applications, presented our project at a science symposium on “Trends, Reflections, Evolution, and Visions in Ocean Research” organized by the Trevor Platt Science (TPS) Foundation at PML, from 7-11 August 2023. The symposium aimed at celebrating the scientific life of Prof. Trevor Platt and carrying forward his legacy in ocean research and international collaboration.
In addition to presenting a poster titled “Uncertainty estimates for satellite-based computations of marine primary production”, Dr. Gemma Kulk was also co-chair at the session UN-SDGs related to water. This session aimed at gathering experts and institutions from diverse backgrounds, to explore the challenges and solutions related to sustainable management of water resources in the context of Sustainable Development Goals and the concept of One Health.
