Our group is&lt;br&gt;  composed of 8 scientists, 9 engineers and a dozen of Post-Docs, Phds and&lt;br&gt;  trainees. We are&lt;br&gt;  embedded into the "Observatoire Océanologique de Villefranche"&lt;br&gt;  (&lt;a href="http://www.obs-vlfr.fr" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.obs-vlfr.fr&lt;/a&gt;),&lt;br&gt;  which employs about 180 total staff (60 researchers).&lt;br&gt;  The proposed job develops within the "BOUSSOLE" project, whose main&lt;br&gt;  goals are fundamental&lt;br&gt;  bio-optics research and calibration/validation activities for satellite&lt;br&gt;  ocean color sensors. The&lt;br&gt;  project is centered on the development, deployment, and maintenance of a&lt;br&gt;  deep-sea mooring&lt;br&gt;  of a new type, precisely designed and dedicated to marine optics&lt;br&gt;  measurements (inherent and&lt;br&gt;  apparent optical properties), and on monthly cruises on the mooring&lt;br&gt;  site. The project started&lt;br&gt;  10 years ago, and is now in a quasi-operational phase. The project is&lt;br&gt;  funded by the European&lt;br&gt;  Space Agency (ESA), the National French Space Agency (CNES), the US&lt;br&gt;  National Aeronautics and&lt;br&gt;  Space Administration (NASA), and our National Scientific Research&lt;br&gt;  Institute, CNRS/INSU. See at&lt;br&gt;  &lt;a href="http://www.obs-vlfr.fr/Boussole" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.obs-vlfr.fr/Boussole&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;  &lt;br&gt;  The job includes a series of management tasks in assistance to, and in&lt;br&gt;  close contact with, the&lt;br&gt;  project PI (David Antoine), and a research activity using the data&lt;br&gt;  collected by the project. The&lt;br&gt;  management tasks include:&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;• Coordinating the local project team, which includes several engineers&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;and technicians.&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;• Supervising the organization of buoy deployment/recovery cruises.&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;• Working toward improvement of the project organization, and of the&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;buoy+mooring system design.&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;• Managing a matchup database (i.e., regularly providing&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;quality-controlled in situ data to space&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;agencies for cal/val of current and future ocean color satellite&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;observations).&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;• Managing the project web site, which hosts the project database.&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;• Contributing to establishing/maintaining a technical report series.&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;• Writing progress reports, preparing progress meetings.&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;• Contributing to the writing of research proposals.&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;• Contributing to possible outreach activities.&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;The research activity classically consists of scientific data analysis&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;and manuscript preparation for&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;peer-reviewed literature and conferences (subjects open to discussion).&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;Candidates should be suitably qualified (Phd level) in optics of&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;geophysical fluids, in particular&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;marine optics, and have the necessary technical background/experience.&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;We seek candidates&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;with several years of experience in similar positions, in order to be&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;operational as rapidly as&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;possible. In case French is not your native language, proficiency in&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;French would be appreciated&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;although not mandatory (English is fine). Capabilities to work at sea&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;would be appreciated as well.&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;Annual salary will depend on the past experience of the candidate (we&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;can accommodate an&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;annual take home up to about 36000€ after social security taxes are&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;taken, but before general&lt;br&gt;  &amp;gt;taxes).

The              course will provide students with a fundamental knowledge of              ocean optics and optical              sensor technology that will enable them to make quality              measurements, be able              to assess the uncertainties associated with the measurements              and compare these              data with remotely sensed ocean color measurements and              products derived from              them. The course is sponsored by NASA and the University of              Maine, with the              goal of preparing a new generation of oceanographers trained              in the use of              optics to study the oceans.&lt;/p&gt;            &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Course elements include: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;            &lt;p style="margin-left:0.25in"&gt;• lectures on the basic              theory of the light              interaction with matter in aquatic environments, ocean color              remote sensing and              its inversion, sensor design and function, and ocean              biogeochemistry;              computation and propagation of measurement uncertainties;&lt;/p&gt;            &lt;p style="margin-left:0.25in"&gt;• laboratory sessions              using optical              instrumentation and radiative transfer software; &lt;/p&gt;            &lt;p style="margin-left:0.25in"&gt;• field              sampling of optical and biogeochemical variables in the              environmentally diverse              waters of coastal Maine; &lt;/p&gt;            &lt;p style="margin-left:0.25in"&gt;• analysis of              optical and biogeochemical data sets; and &lt;/p&gt;            &lt;p style="margin-left:0.25in"&gt;• collaborative student              projects.&lt;/p&gt;            &lt;p&gt;See: &lt;a href="http://misclab.umeoce.maine.edu/%7Eoptics/" target="_blank"&gt;http://misclab.umeoce.maine.edu/~optics/&lt;/a&gt;              for previous class content and activities.&lt;/p&gt;            &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:8pt"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;Instructors                (alphabetical):&lt;/b&gt;  Emmanuel Boss (coordinator), Curt              Mobley, Mary Jane Perry, Collin Roesler, Ken Voss, Jeremy              Werdell and Ron              Zaneveld.&lt;/p&gt;            &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:4pt"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dates:&lt;/b&gt;  July 7– August 2nd, 2013&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br&gt;                &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;            &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;b&gt;Costs:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Scholarships              for Tuition, room and board and academic credits are              available.

Strong emphasis is given        to ocean color remote sensing and the use of NASA's SeaDAS        software (both version 6 and 7-beta) to derive mapped imagery of        geophysical parameters (e.g., chlorophyll or CDOM) from raw        SeaWiFS, MODIS, MERIS and VIIRS data.  The course also covers        image analysis methods to work with satellite imagery of sea        surface temperature, ocean wind speed and sea surface        height.  Developing good IDL programming skills for data analysis        and visualization is a central component of the course. A new        topic being added this year is a basic introduction        to Python programming and running SeaDAS with relatively        simple Python scripts to batch process ocean color data from        Level-1 to Level-3.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br style="text-indent:0px;letter-spacing:normal;font-variant:normal;text-align:start;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:normal;color:rgb(34,34,34);text-transform:none;font-size:13px;white-space:normal;font-family:arial,sans-serif;word-spacing:0px"&gt;

     &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;New insights possible from higher spatial        resolution and new data products &lt;/p&gt;      &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;      &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The incorporation of the recently released        10-year climatology of ocean color data from NASA's Moderate        Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer on the Aqua satellite        (MODIS-Aqua) allowed the Giovanni data system to provide anomaly        analysis for this important ocean data set.&lt;/p&gt;      &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The Earth Observing System Aqua satellite was        launched in early 2002, and the onboard MODIS instrument began        collecting data on July 4, 2002. Thus, at the end of June 2012,        there were 10 years of monthly averaged MODIS data for each month        of the year. The Ocean Biology Processing Group (OBPG) at Goddard        Space Flight Center updates their monthly climatology files as        each new month is completed. In July 2012, the NASA Goddard Earth        Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC) acquired        these monthly climatology files to create a 10-year climatology        base period for the Giovanni data system.&lt;/p&gt;      &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;With the climatology files in Giovanni,        researchers could then examine these climatological averages, or        use the new data for anomaly analysis. The latter enhances the        detection of unusual events in any long-term data set, by        comparing data from a selected period to the average of the data        for a much longer period (i.e., "base period"). For ocean color        data in Giovanni, anomaly analysis has been available for the        Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) for several years,        but the SeaWiFS mission ended in December 2010. For MODIS-Aqua        ocean color climatology data, the mission is still continuing.        Furthermore, MODIS-Aqua data are available at 4 km spatial        resolution, rather than the 9 km spatial resolution of SeaWiFS        data. &lt;/p&gt;      &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Several new data products are available from        MODIS-Aqua, including normalized fluorescence line height (nFLH),        colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) Index, absorption        coefficients for dissolved and detrital matter (a&lt;sub&gt;cdm&lt;/sub&gt;)        and phytoplankton (a&lt;sub&gt;ph&lt;/sub&gt;), backscattering coefficient for        particulate matter (b&lt;sub&gt;bp&lt;/sub&gt;), and euphotic depth (Z&lt;sub&gt;eu&lt;/sub&gt;).          The MODIS-Aqua climatology data also provide remote-sensing        reflectance data at several more wavelengths than were available        from SeaWiFS.&lt;/p&gt;      &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Giovanni's anomaly analysis capability allows        users to examine monthly anomalies, and any other time period up        to a year in duration. So, for example, it is possible to average        data for a season (such as the spring months of March, April, and        May of a particular year) and compare this three-month average to        the climatological average for March through May.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size:15px"&gt;他說，由於上述海域出現紅潮現象，有關海產和小魚或已受到毒素污染，食用後可對人体造成生命威脅，尤其在來臨的2至3月份的高峰期。&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-size:15px"&gt;他今日受詢2名公眾疑食用了遭紅潮毒素污染的貝殼海產喪命時，再次提醒公眾在紅潮象期間，勿進食可能受污染的貝殼類海產或小魚。&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-size:15px"&gt;他說，若公眾誤食有關的貝殼類海產或小魚，或出現紅潮毒素的病徵，應儘速到最靠近的醫院求診，以免發生不幸事件。&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-size:15px"&gt;他表示，該局在去年11月時就發現了紅潮現象，依據過往的歷史記錄，此現象將會持續，並在來臨的2至3月時進入高峰期，最後在6月份左右才完全消失。&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-size:15px"&gt;沙巴衛生總監克麗絲狄娜昨日證實，州內有6人因感染紅潮毒素而送院就醫，有2人不幸喪命。&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-size:15px"&gt;她說，經調查後，上述就醫的人士是進食了源自實邦加海域的蛤蜊，而出現食物中毒、頸部刺痛、嘔吐、暈眩和呼吸急速的徵狀。喪命的2人則出現嚴重的過敏休克和昏迷症狀，最後不幸喪命。&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-size:15px"&gt;她勸告公眾在紅潮期間，暫時不要食用源自出現紅潮現象的貝殼類海產，至於魚、蝦、螃蟹和烏賊，則安全食用。&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size:15px"&gt;（星洲日报）&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size:15px"&gt;Source: &lt;a href="http://news.sinchew.com.my/node/273993"&gt;http://news.sinchew.com.my/node/273993&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

These findings are consistent with the   results of analysis of toxic shellfish mentioned earlier, he added.         &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  According to Rayner, the mouse bioassay, the method for analysis of PSP   in shellfish by the department at its research centre in Likas, found   some of the shellfish samples to have as high as 4,010 Mouse Units (MUs)   (Papar) and 1,270MU (Tuaran), which are considered as very toxic.     &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  Red tide occurrences in Sabah in the past years have revealed bivalves   to be as toxic as 8,000MU. The lowest limit as the dangerous level for   humans is 400MU.      &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  &amp;quot;If consumers do wish to eat bivalve shellfish, they are advised to make   sure these are not obtained from waters off the West Coast of Sabah,&amp;quot;   Rayner said.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  While it is impossible to test every shellfish and fish from the sea for   toxins, he said the department declared that this red tide is occurring   in the areas mentioned above and there is a high possibility that other   adjoining districts will be affected in future.     &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  It is also expected that shellfish will become more toxic as these dinoflagellates become more numerous in the sea.    &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  Paralytic shellfish poisoning is a marine biotoxin that is associated   with certain types of algae blooms in coastal waters. Paralytic   shellfish poisons are accumulated in shellfish which have filter-fed   upon toxic one-celled microscopic algae called dinoflagellates, which   occurs naturally as a part of the ocean plankton.     &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  Eating toxic shellfish can cause paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) in   humans. PSP is caused by saxitoxin, which is produced by the   dinoflagellate, Pyrodinium bahamanse (var. compressum) and is one of the   most potent toxins known to scientists.     &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  The first recorded PSP case in Sabah was in 1976 where 202 victims   suffered and saw seven deaths. Since then PSP occurrences have been   detected every few years off the West Coast.     &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  Early symptoms of PSP include tingling of the lips and tongue, which may   begin within minutes of eating poisonous shellfish or may take an hour   or two to develop.     &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  Depending on the amount of toxin a person has ingested, symptoms may   progress to a sensation of &amp;quot;pricking of pins and needles&amp;quot; of the skin   and then loss of control of arms and legs, followed by difficulty in   breathing.     &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  Some people have experienced a sense of floating or nausea, he said,   adding if a person consumes enough poison, muscles of the chest and   abdomen become paralysed.     &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  He said death can result in as little as two hours, as muscles used for breathing become paralysed.     &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  &amp;quot;If one experiences the above symptoms, get medical treatment   immediately at the nearest hospital or clinic. There is no medication   available for PSP or Saxitoxin poisoning; in general, supportive   measures are the basis of treatment for PSP and in severe cases, with   the use of a mechanical respirator and oxygen,&amp;quot; Rayner said.     &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  He said the types of sea life considered safe to eat include all types   of prawns and crabs including shovel-nosed lobsters, mantis shrimps, all   types of coral fishes and fishes which are predatory such as sharks and   stingrays, barracuda, tenggeri, jacks, etc, and deepsea fishes.     &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  However, as a prudent measure consumer they are advised to throw away   the guts and gills of any fish to be eaten and these same fishes are to   be washed properly.     &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  Also, any type of dried, canned, bottled or salted fish products are safe.     &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;  The department is currently doing further sampling and testing on fishes   and sea life collected from other districts to determine whether these   are also toxic and dangerous to human health.     &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
