Abstract: Uncertainty is a fundamental aspect of aquatic remote sensing, generated by sources such as sensor noise, atmospheric conditions, and human error. Despite scientific advancements, these uncertainties are often neglected in remote sensing studies, leading to misinterpretations and missed opportunities for innovation. This seminar recaps key findings from our recent paper, "Dive Into the Unknown: Embracing Uncertainty to Advance Aquatic Remote Sensing," and explores the sources of uncertainty in aquatic remote sensing, their theoretical background, and practical applications. We will provide examples in validation, model improvement, and decision-making. By embracing uncertainty, we aim to enhance the accuracy and reliability of remote sensing products, drive scientific progress, and support informed decision-making. Join us to discover why integrating uncertainty should be central to aquatic remote sensing efforts, leading to scientific advancement and more reliable Earth observation products.

Bio(s): Dr. Mortimer Werther holds a BSc in Geography from Kiel University, Germany, an MSc in Geo Information Science from Wageningen University, The Netherlands, and a PhD in Remote Sensing from the University of Stirling, Scotland (2022). He has worked at Brockmann Consult in Germany and has been a Postdoctoral researcher in Daniel Odermatt's group at the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (EAWAG) since September 2022. His research focuses on aquatic optics, remote sensing, and calibration/validation activities. Dr. Werther specializes in applying remote sensing technologies to aquatic ecosystems, with a particular emphasis on understanding and incorporating uncertainty into remote sensing models.
