Yadira Soto and Jose Martinez carried out their undergraduate research in GERS Lab related topics. Yadira in her second research project continued working with the bioluminescence bays of La Parguera and Vieques and produced a Land Use and Land Cover map using a supervised classification of IKONOS images. Yadira’s work is related with our project sponsored by Sea Grant. Jose worked in his first research project and was focused in testing MODIS for Mayaguez Bay. He choose a new algorithm developed by Miller and McKee (2004) and the 250 m bands from MODIS to estimate the concentration of Suspended Sediments in the bay.
