Emmanuel Boss

Emmanuel Boss is Professor at UMaine's School of Marine Sciences, focusing on oceanic particle characterization through optical/acoustical methods. His lab develops novel techniques to quantify particulate materials using remote sensing and in-situ sensors, collaborating with universities (OSU, WHOI) and companies (Sequoia Scientific).

Primary research examines optical properties (absorption, scattering) to determine particle size distribution and composition, supported by Mie and T-matrix theoretical studies. Recent work expands into ocean acoustics for enhanced particle analysis. Publications emphasize phytoplankton dynamics and satellite oceanography validation.

Instrument development includes contributions to Bio-Argo floats and ocean color calibration protocols for NASA's PACE mission.
