The 3rd EOS Topical Meeting on Blue Photonics® - Optics in the Sea (Blue Photonics 3), to be held at the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ), Texel, Netherlands, will provide a major international forum for the discussion of marine optics and its applications. Its aims are to review recent progress in the field, to promote the formation of a community of scientists and engineers working in related areas, and to stimulate the interdisciplinary collaboration required to meet the rapidly developing challenges of the future.
Synopsis
Insight in ocean optics has evolved gradually, from centuries ago, the time of mere observations of colour and transparency changes in time and space, to the period starting in the late 20th century when satellites were launched and ocean optics became a real science. In other words, an evolution from no more than human fascination for the colour of natural waters to the development of ideas, instrumentation, instrument validation and experimentation, the ingredients necessary to really understand the colouring of water. New challenges within the field of marine optics are designs on innovative optical sensors for in-situ monitoring of marine environment.
This 3rd EOS Topical Meeting on Blue Photonics® - Optics in the Sea (Blue Photonics 3), to be held at the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ), Texel, Netherlands, will provide a major international forum for the discussion of marine optics and its applications. Its aims are to review recent progress in the field, to promote the formation of a community of scientists and engineers working in related areas, and to stimulate the interdisciplinary collaboration required to meet the rapidly developing challenges of the future.

Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ)
The Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ) is the National Oceanographic Institution of the Netherlands. The institute was founded in 1876 and is part of the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO). The institute is located on the island of Texel at the border between the North Sea and the Wadden Sea, and about 100 km north of Amsterdam.
Texel
The Island of Texel, located about a 1.5-hour drive north of Amsterdam, sits in the Wadden Sea and is the largest of the Dutch North Sea Islands. Now 25 km long and 9 km wide, it actually consisted of two islands until 1835 when a spit of land to Eyerland Island was pumped dry. Combine work with pleasure, extend your stay and enjoy the relaxed island flair with its broad white beaches, its nature reserves and the tidelands. Discover this remarkably diverse place with its forests and picture-book villages.
More information about Texel is available at www.texel.net.
