Atmospheric correction. Atmospheric correction is the process of removing the scattering and absorption effects of the atmosphere on the reflectance values of images taken by satellite or airborne sensors. [1][2] Atmospheric effects in optical remote sensing are significant and complex, dramatically altering the spectral nature of the radiation ...
Microbial ecology (or environmental microbiology) is the ecology of microorganisms: their relationship with one another and with their environment. It concerns the three major domains of life— Eukaryota, Archaea, and Bacteria —as well as viruses. [ 2 ] Microorganisms, by their ubiquity, impact the entire biosphere.
Quorum sensing. In biology, quorum sensing or quorum signaling (QS) [1] is the process of cell-to-cell communication [2] that allows bacteria to detect and respond to cell population density by gene regulation, typically as a means of acclimating to environmental disadvantages. [3]
The food web's microbial interactions are varied and diverse. Predation, rivalry, and symbiotic connections are some of these interactions. For instance, certain bacteria and algae create mutualistic relationships in which the bacteria give the algae vital nutrients, and the algae give the bacteria organic carbon.
e. Environmental monitoring is the processes and activities that are done to characterize and describe the state of the environment. It is used in the preparation of environmental impact assessments, and in many circumstances in which human activities may cause harmful effects on the natural environment. Monitoring strategies and programs are ...
Pollution. Atmospheric dispersion modeling is the mathematical simulation of how air pollutants disperse in the ambient atmosphere. It is performed with computer programs that include algorithms to solve the mathematical equations that govern the pollutant dispersion. The dispersion models are used to estimate the downwind ambient concentration ...
Bonnie Bassler. Bassler at a 2015 American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology meeting. Bonnie Lynn Bassler (born 1962) [2] is an American molecular biologist; the Squibb Professor in Molecular Biology and chair of the Department of Molecular Biology at Princeton University; and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator.
The sea surface microlayer (SML) is the boundary interface between the atmosphere and ocean, covering about 70% of the Earth's surface. The SML has physicochemical and biological properties that are measurably distinct from underlying waters. Because of its unique position at the air-sea interface, the SML is central to a range of global ...
