Diver-Operated Instruments for In-Situ Measurement of Optical Properties

Abstract

This work is undertaken as part of a long-term effort to document and understand the optical properties of benthic organisms and substrates. This understanding is sought as part of efforts to apply both in-situ and remote sensing optical measurement techniques to problems of surveying, searching, mapping, monitoring, and assessing shallow water environments. The objective of this effort is to develop improved diver-operated instrumentation for making reflectance and fluorescence spectral measurements from benthic features in situ. The new instrument would be used in my own research, and copies of it would be made available to collaborating researchers who could benefit from its availability.
