RECENT OCEAN-COLOUR REFERENCES (2008-2010)

This list is comprised of references submitted and periodic literature searches.

If you have any new publications that you would like added to this page, please submit them to the IOCCG Project Scientist, Dr. Venetia Stuart, by emailing vstuart-at-ioccg.org (replace "-at-" with "@"). You may include the URL if the paper is available on the internet, but do not send the PDF file as an attachment. Another very useful ocean colour bibliography is NASA's searchable Ocean Color Publications Database.
