Two presentations showcased the project’s contributions to understanding European coastal waters and improving satellite-based ocean colour products:
Dissolved Organic Matter Dynamics Along the European Coasts
Dissolved organic matter dynamics along the European coasts, new insights from the TRaversing European Coastlines (TREC) expedition
Speaker: Chiara Santinelli
Chiara Santinelli shared new insights into the behavior of dissolved organic matter (DOM) across European coastal regions. Based on data collected during the TREC expedition, the study enhances our understanding of coastal biogeochemistry and supports improved satellite monitoring of marine ecosystems.
Biogeochemical and hyper-spectral optical properties of European coastal and open ocean waters: an unprecedent dataset for the calibration and validation of multi-sensor ocean color satellite products
Speaker: D. Doxaran

This presentation introduced a unique dataset combining biogeochemical and hyperspectral optical measurements from both coastal and open ocean waters. The data are instrumental in calibrating and validating multi-sensor ocean color satellite products, contributing to more accurate remote sensing of marine environments.
These contributions reflect HyperBOOST’s commitment to advancing Earth Observation science and supporting the development of robust satellite tools for monitoring ocean health.
