In this study we examined the ability of the NASA Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL) to discriminate cluster zones of massive stony coral colonies on northern Florida reef tract (NFRT) patch reefs based on their topographic complexity (rugosity). Spatially dense EAARL laser submarine topographic soundings acquired in August 2002 were

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 1989
Abstract Scleractinian corals and octocorals from two reefs within Biscayne National Park off southeast Florida were compared with respect to 1. relative abundances, 2. gross field condition, 3. concentrations of pesticides and heavy metals, and 4. histopathological condition. The northernmost reef, Bache Shoal, is near a large urban area (Miami) and

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2012
The Florida Current (FC) is the branch of the Gulf Stream system within the Straits of Florida, connected to the Loop Current in the Gulf of Mexico. Cyclonic, cold‐core eddies travel along this oceanic current system, entering the Straits of Florida in the vicinity of the Dry Tortugas and evolving along the Florida Keys island chain and coral reefs ...

A New Holocene Sea Level Curve for Upper Florida Keys and Florida Reef Tract: ABSTRACT
AAPG Bulletin, 1984A new Holocene sea level curve for the upper Florida Keys and Florida reef tract has been constructed by integrating existing and new data from 14C age analyses. New data are derived from 21 mangrove peat samples from 5 locations and 3 laminated CaCO3 soilstone crust (caliche) samples from 3 locations.

Dispersal capacity and genetic relatedness in Acropora cervicornis on the Florida Reef Tract
Coral Reefs, 2018Sexual reproduction in scleractinian corals is a critical component of species recovery, fostering population connectivity and enhancing genetic diveristy. The relative contribution of sexual reproduction to both connectivity and diversity in Acropora cervicornis may be variable due to this species’ capacity to reproduce effectively by fragmentation ...

High-resolution seismic-reflection profiles off the lower Florida Keys reveal a multiple outlier-reef tract system {approximately}0.5 to 1.5 km seaward of the bank margin. The system is characterized by a massive, outer main reef tract of high (28 m) unburied relief that parallels the margin and at least two narrower, discontinuous reef tracts of lower

Distribution of coelobites (cavity-dwellers) in coral rubble across the Florida Reef Tract
Coral Reefs, 1983The interstices of coral rubble, the most common deposits of many reefs, provide extensive surfaces for a variety of sessile and vagile coelobites (cavity-dwellers). In the northern Florida Reef Tract there are at least 80 different sessile coelobites in coral rubble collected from 21 stations from in-shore lagoon to fore-reef, depth 40 meters.

The Development of Rodriguez Bank, a Holocene Mudbank in the Florida Reef Tract
SEPM Journal of Sedimentary Research, 1976ABSTRACT Rodriguez Bank is a Recent mound of unconsolidated calcareous sediments deposited during a relative rise in sea level in the absence of vigorous wave action. This mound, unlike modern coral-algal reefs, has no rigid organic framework and plants are directly and indirectly responsible for the accumulation. The principal sediment contributors to
