2006 UK-Japan Young Scientist Workshop
Global Monitoring by Satellite
Aims and Participants
This group worked in the AB Building, and was led by Dr Craig Underwood and supported by Juan Fernandez. The aim of the workshop was to explore the multi-spectral image principle, and how this can be used to extend human vision. This work involved both optical and biological understanding.
The group consisted of Ayano Kisegawa from Rakuhoku school, Natsumi Horikawa from Kyoyo university of education school, Tomoko Matsuda from Ritsumeikan school, Christopher Merlini from Rikkyo Japanese School, UK, Jack Southall from Dartford Grammar School, Charlotte Colman from County Upper School, Paul Davison from St. Benedict’s, and Matthew Colledge from George Abbot School.
The group facilitators were Tatsuo Shimizu and Tomomi Wakiya.
The learning outcomes of the students’ research are recorded here.

During
the week-long Workshop, students and their teachers, university researchers,
and cultural language facilitators worked together, through the process of
inquiry, to understand a challenging and complex scientific problem. At the
end of the week, students gave presentations of their original research findings.
