In the last few decades, researchers have developed a plethora of hyperspectral Earth
Observation (EO) remote sensing techniques, analysis and applications. While …

Satellites collecting optical data offer a unique perspective from which to observe the
problem of plastic litter in the marine environment, but few studies have successfully …

In recent years, massive blooms of pelagic Sargassum have occurred in the Atlantic Ocean,
Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico, and satellite imagery have been used operationally to …

Currently, a significant amount of research is focused on detecting Marine Debris and

Sargassum washing ashore on the beaches of the Caribbean Islands since 2011 has
caused problems for the local environments, tourism, and economies. Although preliminary …

The abundance and distribution of plastic debris in natural waters is largely unknown due to
