of the City University of New York has an opening for a full-time postdoctoral research associate. The successful applicant will join a multi-disciplinary, multi-institution, NASA-funded research team that focuses on better understanding the role of tidal
wetlands and estuaries in coastal carbon cycling, and the potential responses and services of coastal wetlands in a changing climate. By integrating advanced remote sensing observations of coastal environments, including wetlands, tidal systems, and aquatic
environments with new mechanistic carbon cycling modeling, this research effort will improve understanding of key carbon exchange processes at the land-ocean interface, and examine human-wetland-ocean-atmosphere interactions. This is a joint research effort
with NASA, NOAA, USGS, the Smithsonian Institution, Pennsylvania State University, University of Maryland, University of Delaware, University of Florida, the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, and the Department of Energy.
<span style="letter-spacing: -0.1pt;">Partnering with relevant stakeholders from EPA, NOAA’s National Estuarine Research Reserve System, and the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, the project will also enhance existing capabilities of using remote
sensing and modeling tools for adaptive resource management.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>

similar field, and expertise in remote sensing data analysis and algorithm development. The successful candidate will participate in studies that involve refined retrievals of near-shore biogeochemical variables from ocean color satellite imagery (e.g., SeaWiFS,
MODIS, MERIS, VIIRS), and advanced remote sensing characterization of tidal wetland area extent, vegetation communities and inundation regimes using satellite and aircraft remote sensing data (e.g., Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) datasets,
<span style="color: black; letter-spacing: -0.1pt; mso-no-proof: yes;">ALOS PALSAR, PALSAR-2, SENTINAL,S</span>MAP, Landsat, ASTER, UAVSAR). They will also have the opportunity to be involved in preparation efforts and field activities for NASA's future satellite
missions, including PACE, GEOCAPE, HyspIRI, and NISAR. Highly motivated candidates with strong interest on interdisciplinary research at the land-ocean-atmosphere interface are particularly encouraged to apply.
