Tartu Observatory
Group of Vegation Remote Sensing

I started my work in Tartu Observatory, Estonia using EC Marie Curie Reintegration  Fellowship in year 2005.  
I am graduated from Tartu University as physicists (optics) in 1984 and  in 1993 completed my master thesis about optical properties of water, since 1995 I  have  worked in Estonia Marine Institute  as research associate. I completed my  Ph.D. thesis (2000) on the  optical properties of Estonian and Finnish lakes. After that I have been funded by a EC Marie Curie Fellowship to Uppsala University and a later Marie Curie  reintegration grant in the Tartu Observatory (2005) to investigate applications of remote sensing methods to large European lakes. I am  a member of Estonian remote sensing committee. I have been  a co-organizer of international symposiums about physical processes in natural waters and large European lakes; published 22 peer-reviewed papers about bio-optical modeling, remote sensing of inland coastal waters and ice cover, also atmospheric correction of satellite images.
