About
Annalisa Di Cicco is a leading expert in ocean color remote sensing, with a primary focus on the optically complex waters of the Baltic Sea. Her research centers on improving atmospheric correction methods and developing robust satellite-derived datasets for coastal and inland waters, where traditional algorithms often fail. In her highly cited 2024 work, she tackled the challenge of retrieving accurate chlorophyll-a concentrations in the Baltic—a basin marked by strong salinity gradients, high colored dissolved organic matter, and a distinct two-bloom phytoplankton phenology. By assessing and refining atmospheric correction approaches for Sentinel-3 OLCI, she created a regional operational dataset that significantly enhances our ability to monitor this ecologically sensitive sea. This contribution is vital for understanding eutrophication, algal blooms, and climate-driven changes in the region. With 11 citations already, her work is rapidly gaining recognition among oceanographers and environmental managers. Di Cicco’s efforts bridge the gap between global satellite products and local water quality needs, making her a key figure in advancing remote sensing for coastal sustainability.
