LOAD Project Long term analysis of Suspended Particulate Matter concentrations Affecting port areas inDeveloping countries

Abstract

This program seeks to monitor suspended particulate matter (SPM) along cetain regions near a southern port in Brazil (Rio Grande) via the combination of spatial/temporal resolution remote sensing information (from a deployed sensor array) to understand regional, local and micro-level impact upon the SPM environment. The degree of innovation, along with knowledge of the field, the soundness of the program, and technical approach are all acceptable. Due to the collaboration with NUWC Newport (field testing, co-management of scientific endeavor), co-funding from Code 32, and valuable information that will be obtained for this project on Biological Soundscapes, this project meets all criteria for a success.
