MiDAR UV – Marine plastic and coral reef bleaching sensor

Your support, paired with a grant from NASA, will allow us to further develop the fluid lensing and MiDAR technology I invented at NASA by adding an invaluable spectral channel. This UV spectral band will expand the instrument’s capability to detect and capture specific coral reef diseases and help in speciation of coral and marine wildlife at a more significant scale than ever before.

This giving form identifies the needs of an NGS Explorer, whose work is very innovative and important. Your contribution can help fund this work. All contributions will be used for NGS’s programs to support a global community of Explorers who investigate, test hypotheses, innovate, stretch their creativity and push the boundaries of traditional thinking in ways that fundamentally change our world. NGS will use contributions to support the work of the identified Explorers in this campaign, and will have discretion to reallocate the funding within the Explorer community as appropriate, consistent with its mission.
