The Center for Hemispherical Cooperation in Research and Education in Engineering and Applied Science (CoHemis) celebrated its sixth meeting on Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems (PRYSIG, for Spanish) during November 14, 2008. This meeting contained 9 oral presentations and 2 workshops that were attended by people from academia, private sector, and government. One of the presentations was given by Ramón López and Vilmaliz Rodriguez, graduate students supported by our NOAA-CREST project. Their talk was titled “Remote Sensing and Bio-Optical Properties of Mayaguez Bay”, which represented a summary of the most recent efforts for understanding the dynamics of this ecosystem. Once again we are part of this important event, which has become a tradition among this community of technical experts.
