Charlotte Bay Hasager is senior scientist at
Risø National
Laboratory for Sustainable Energy, DTU in the
Wind
Energy Division. Charlotte has a master degree in physical
geography from 1992 at the University of Copenhagen and
has in years 1992 to 1996 written a Ph.D. thesis on
satellite images and the exchange of energy and water
vapor between the surface and the atmosphere. During the
Ph.D. Charlotte visited for six months the Pennsylvania
State University, Department of Meteorology in the USA.
In recent years Charlotte has worked on satellite radar
images for mapping ocean winds. This is particularly
exciting in relation to the large new offshore wind
farms. Charlotte is coordinating the project Satellite
Eye for Galathea 3. More information on my research

Jacob L. Høyer is scientist at the
Danish
Meteorological Institute (DMI). Jacob has a master
degree in oceanography from 1999 from the University of
Copenhagen and Jacob has written a Ph.D. thesis in 2002
about the use of satellite images of the height of the
sea surface, ocean waves and sea surface temperatures.
Jacob is working on the calculation of ocean sea surface
temperatures from various satellites including optical
thermal and microwave data. Jacob has developed a
routine to interpolate in areas with missing data due to
e.g. cloud cover. In the project Satellite Eye Jacob is
responsible for the satellite-based ocean sea surface
temperature maps.

Peter Viskum Jørgensen worked as a researcher
at the Danish
Meteorological Institute (DMI). Peter has a M.Sc.
degree in Geography from Copenhagen University in 1993
and a Ph.D from 2000 in remote sensing and marine optics,
more specifically on the application of using
satellitedata/measurements for determining the ocean
colour, and the relations which can be deducted herefrom.
This encompasses the content of algae, other suspended
material, and of dissolved organic matter (Gelbstoff).
In the Satellite Eye project Peter is responsible for
producing maps of algae concentrations determined using
MERIS data from the ENVISAT satellite. |

Niels Kristian Højerslev is associate
professor in oceanography at the
Niels Bohr Instituttet
at University in Copenhagen. Niels has a master degree
in oceanography from 1971 and a Ph.D. degree from 1973
on physical oceanography. Niels also holds a doctorate
degree from 1986 on the optical properties of sea water.
This concerns methods to map the chlorophyll content in
the ocean in the near surface layer. Niels is teaching
physical oceanography and has written textbooks on the
subject. In the project Satellite Eye Niels will explain
the physics of the ocean and the optical properties of
the ocean color seen from satellite.

Jürg Lichtenegger (Swiss nationality). Jürg
studied at the Department of Geography University Zurich/Switzerland
and did his PhD thesis on Multitemporal Landsat MSS
analysis in an agricultural area. From 1982 to 2003 he
served as an Engineer and Senior Engineer for Earth
Observation in ESA/ESRIN, Frascati, Italy. Since June
2003 retired from ESA, he continues as a freelance
expert and ESA consultant for Earth observation for ESA
and other international organizations in education
projects and teaching courses worldwide. He is assisting
very actively in the continuation of the ESA educational
website Earth observation for secondary schools EDUSPACE
and all related project, such as Galathea 3. Dr. Jürg
Lichtenegger, email: and
http://www.eduspace.esa.int. In the project
Satellite Eye Jürg is responsible for the ordering and
processing of images from the Envisat and from other
satellites and for the educational material concerning
radar data. |

Merete Bruun Christiansen is scientist at
Risoe DTU in the
Wind
Energy Division. Merete has a master degree in physical
geography from 2002 from the University of Copenhagen
and has in the years 2002 to 2006 written a Ph.D. thesis
on satellite images and offshore wind energy. During her
Ph.D. Merete was visiting the Johns Hopkins University,
Applied Physics Laboratory in the USA for 4 months.
Merete will develop satellite-based methods for
estimation of the CO2–exchange between air and sea in
the
CarbonCycleProject. During the
Galathea-expedition she will investigate how well winds,
exchange rates, sea surface temperatures, salinity and
possibly CO2 –concentrations in ocean can be estimated
from satellite. Merete will be responsible for
observations on meteorology and CO2-observations while
onboard Vædderen from Accra to Cape Town and from St.
