The future of coral reefs [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2001 Coral reefs, with their millions of species, have changed profoundly because of the effects of people, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Reefs are subject to many of the same processes that affect other human-dominated ecosystems, but some special features merit emphasis: ( i

Variation in growth rates of branching corals along Australia’s Great Barrier Reef
Scientific Reports, 2017 Coral growth is an important component of reef health and resilience. However, few studies have investigated temporal and/or spatial variation in growth of branching corals, which are important contributors to the structure and function of reef habitats.

Bathymetry of the Coral Reefs of Weizhou Island Based on Multispectral Satellite Images
Remote Sensing, 2017 Shallow water depth measurements using multispectral images are crucial for marine surveying and mapping. At present, relevant studies either depend on the use of other auxiliary data (such as field water depths or water column data) or contain too many ...

Coral bleaching responses in Sodwana Bay, South Africa [PDF]
, 2013 This study assessed the bleaching response (BR) of coral colonies within the central reef complex in Sodwana Bay, South Africa. Bleach surveys were conducted at 16 sites on 8 reefs over the period of 2007 to 2013. A total of 12 858 coral colonies from 30

Frequent coral disease interventions reduces tissue loss
Scientific ReportsStony coral tissue loss disease is a highly contagious coral disease, causing rapid colony mortality and local extinctions. Conducting disease interventions on all corals in a region during an outbreak is virtually impossible, therefore, intervention ...
