Digital Earth Solutions (DES) looks for a Postdoc in Remote Sensing.
At Digital Earth Solutions, we utilize advanced ocean modeling and remote sensing techniques to track and analyze the movement of objects floating in the ocean, such as oil spills, plastic debris, algae blooms, and people needing search and rescue. Our team has over 20 years of expertise in physical oceanography, geophysics, and computational fluid dynamics. We have developed proprietary algorithms and workflows to ingest real-time data from satellites, buoys, tidal gauges, and meteorological sources to generate high-fidelity simulations of ocean currents and waves. Within minutes, our systems can predict the present and future trajectory of any spilled pollutant or drifting object, forecasting how it will transport and diffuse across hundreds of miles. Our accurate ocean intelligence informs critical decisions to build a sustainable future.
