Peter J. Minnett received the B.A. degree in physics from the University of Oxford, Oxford, U.K., in 1973, and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in oceanography from the University of Southampton, Southampton, U.K., in 1975 and 1978, respectively. In 1995, he joined the University of Miami, Miami, FL, USA, becoming a Professor Emeritus of ocean sciences at the Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science in 2021. His research interests include deriving accurate measurements of ocean variables, primarily sea surface temperature, by remote sensing from satellites and ships. Dr. Minnett has served as the Science Team Chair of the Group for High Resolution Sea-Surface Temperature from 2012 to 2016.
