Biography
Thomas Schroeder completed a MSc in Meteorology in 2001 and was awarded a PhD in 2005 from the Department of Earth Sciences at the Free University Berlin, Germany. He worked as a Research Scientist at the Institute of Space Sciences at the Free University Berlin until 2005 before he took up employment with the German Aerospace Centre DLR in Oberpfaffenhofen. In 2006 he moved to Australia, where he now works as a Senior Research Scientist in the Oceans & Atmosphere 'Coast and Oceans Research' Program.
Dr Thomas Schroeder has 20+ years experience in the development of remote sensing applications for the retrieval of oceanic, terrestrial and atmospheric properties from air- and space-borne instruments.
In his current research Thomas focuses on the development, validation, and implementation of physics-based ocean colour inversion algorithms to enable reliable mapping, detection and monitoring of Australia's coastal and marine ecosystems using satellite remote sensing. Further he is progressing new strategic research directions in the area of geostationary and radar satellite applications for high-temporal coastal monitoring and the detection of hydro-carbon pollution.
Dr Thomas Schroeder is also advancing in-situ bio-optical and radiometric observations for satellite validation under IMOS where he leads the IMOS Ocean Colour Sub-facility and manages the Lucinda Jetty Coastal Observatory. Measurements from this facility are used to inform international space agencies on the accuracy of marine satellite products.
