   abstract: "Niky is an ocean scientist by training, with a background in multi-\
     \ and hyperspectral remote sensing of coastal and estuarine systems. Her research\
     \ incorporates remote sensing and radiometric measurements of water and land\
     \ at multiple scales, encompassing everything from ship-based radiometry to\
     \ airborne and satellite data processing. Niky\u2019s work is largely focused\
     \ on creating data products that help inform on ecosystem condition and water\
     \ quality in San Francisco Bay and coastal California. Current projects include\
     \ mapping Biofilm in the South San Francisco Bay mudflats, mapping and modeling\
     \ Mercury concentrations in San Francisco Bay, and supporting other remote sensing\
     \ efforts in California and the US. Niky also works within the USGS and with\
     \ other groups on science communication, outreach, and education. She has taught\
     \ a variety of introductory climate and oceanography courses and mentored 14\
     \ undergraduate students through the NASA Student Airborne Research Program\
     \ (SARP)."
