Combining Photogrammetric Computer Vision and Semantic Segmentation for Fine-grained Understanding of Coral Reef Growth under Climate Change [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Corals are the primary habitat-building life-form on reefs that support a quarter of the species in the ocean. A coral reef ecosystem usually consists of reefs, each of which is like a tall building in any city. These reef-building corals secrete hard calcareous exoskeletons that give them structural rigidity, and are also a prerequisite for our ...

Spatial and Seasonal Variability of Reef Bacterial Communities in the Upper Gulf of Thailand
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 Reefs at Ko Samae San (S), Khao Ma Cho (K), and Ko Tao Mo (T), in the Gulf of Thailand (GoT) represent a biodiversity hotspot, and bacteria play significant roles in maintaining the health of these coral reefs and their biogeochemical cycles.

Modeling Coral Reef Bleaching Recovery Through KCC-Theory [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 We use Volterra-Hamilton systems theory and their associated cost functional to study the population dynamics and productive processes of coral reefs in recovery from bleaching and show that the cost of production remains the same after the process.

“Natural Chronometers”: Coral Islands and the Discovery of Time, from Buffon to Darwin
eTropic: electronic journal of studies in the tropics, 2013 Two phenomena in particular offered hints to early nineteenth-century geology about dating the antiquity of the earth: volcanos of the kind discovered at Pompeii, and coral rock of the kind discovered, above all, in the tropical Pacific.
