Welcome to the Coastal Ocean Laboratory for Optics and Remote Sensing (COLORS) at the University of Connecticut, Avery Point campus.

Our current projects involve optics and remote sensing of the coastal zone ranging from Long Island Sound to Florida Bay. We are developing algorithms to use remotely sensing imagery to quantify phytoplankton and CDOM in optically complex waters and benthic habitats in optically shallow waters. We are also involved in theoretical and laboratory experiments involving backscattering and particle size distributions. Our laboratory has a variety of equipment for measuring optical and physical properties of the water column that can be loaned out to students or investigators.
