Mapping Live Coral: Comparing Spaceborne to Airborne Imaging Spectroscopy
Remote SensingLive coral cover is a key indicator of coral reef composition, health, and functioning. Airborne imaging spectroscopy provides verifiably accurate estimates of live coral cover to seawater depths of 25 m, yet satellite-based approaches have not achieved ...

Rapid assessment of coral cover from environmental DNA in Hawai'i [PDF]
Environmental DNA, 2019 AbstractCoral reefs support the most diverse assemblages of marine life on Earth, yet are declining due to local and global stressors. Rapid and widespread monitoring is essential for tracking ecosystem responses, but assessment of coral communities traditionally relies on time‐consuming visual estimates of coral cover, the percentage of substrate ...

Recruitment Drives Spatial Variation in Recovery Rates of Resilient Coral Reefs
Scientific Reports, 2018 Tropical reefs often undergo acute disturbances that result in landscape-scale loss of coral. Due to increasing threats to coral reefs from climate change and anthropogenic perturbations, it is critical to understand mechanisms that drive recovery of ...

Unprecedented mass bleaching and loss of coral across 12° of latitude in Western Australia in 2010-11. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Globally, coral bleaching has been responsible for a significant decline in both coral cover and diversity over the past two decades. During the summer of 2010-11, anomalous large-scale ocean warming induced unprecedented levels of coral ...
