Investigation of ballast water conditions using remote sensing

This thesis investigates the use of remote sensing techniques to study the conditions of ballast water in the northwestern port of Emden, Germany. Sentinel-2 data of the seaport has been collected and used in order to retrieve the suspended particulate matter (SPM), evaluating its distribution and c...
