Fanny GIRARD-ARDHUIN

Fanny Ardhuin received her Ph. D. in radar meteorology at the Laboratoire d’Aérologie (Toulouse, France) in 2001. Her thesis deals with atmospheric boundary layer studies, using wind profiler radar with Radio Acoustic Sounding System (RASS). Research fellow at ENST Bretagne (Brest, France) in 2002, she analyzed Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data, in particular for oil spill detection. She joined BOOST Technologies/CLS (Brest, France) in 2003 to implement oil slick detection algorithms applied on SAR images and test synergistic data analysis for slick classification. Since 2004 at LOS/IFREMER (Brest, France), she is involved in sea ice monitoring from active and passive sensors, in particular for sea ice drift estimation and multi-year ice detection in the framework of E.U. supported project DAMOCLES, MyOcean GMES project and ESA projects GlobIce and PolarView. She is currently a member of the ESA/ASCAT-MetOp Science Advisory Group.
