Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJavier Concha is an ocean data exploitation specialist with 13 years of experience applying imaging science and remote sensing to challenging, optically complex waters using sensors from Landsat-8 to Sentinel-3 and GOCI. He combines hands-on algorithm development and atmospheric correction expertise from his Ph.D. work with operational experience integrating Sentinel full-resolution streams into CMEMS and supporting ESA project management at ESRIN. His research focuses on rigorous calibration and validation, including vicarious calibration and novel use of autonomous multispectral and hyperspectral in situ sensors, and he quantitatively studies how validation protocols affect reported statistics. Having worked at NASA Goddard, CNR and now Serco/ESA, he blends academic rigor with practical implementation across international consortia such as HYPERNETS. Notably, he bridges high-resolution inland-water methods with coastal and satellite-scale exploitation, making him adept at translating detailed bio-optical science into operational EO products.
