Spatial models and multi-scale distribution and dynamics of habitats for characterization and management of coral reefs.
1. Methods and tools for studying reef remote sensing
radiative transfer model and image corrections, analysis of spectral signatures. Classifications and blurred and sharp segmentation, coupled with 3D modeling, change detection, acoustic-optic cooperation, coupled with field work, evaluation of new sensors performances: SeaWiFS, Landsat 7, IKONOS, Quickbird, CASI
2. Inventory of biodiversity and remote sensing mapping of reefs
systematic mapping of the planet reefs from Landsat 7 images (Millennium Coral Reef Mapping Project Project).Typology and mapping of reef and lagoon habitats of many sites from images at very high resolution. Inventory of biodiversity of coral reefs. Diachronic study of very high resolution image series. Of inventory shipments coordination and field measurements (Maldives, Polynesia)
3. Study and modeling of processes reef
evolution under anthropogenic influences reefs, productivity and biomass of reef hydrodynamic operation and lagoons of atolls of Polynesia, connectivity between reefs (Caribbean, Pacific), structure and maintenance of biodiversity, bleaching Reef (Australia), sediment transport and water quality (NC), changes in reef habitats, tectonics and reefs (Vanuatu), species-habitat relationships.
4. Management of coral reefs
study of reef fisheries (Polynesia, New Caledonia, Maldives); Evaluation of Global Marine Protected Areas Network;optimization algorithms of marine protected areas (implementation in Belize and Wallis); implementation of GIS and database in different locations; Map data transfer to many countries; Support the classification of UNESCO World Heritage Caledonia reefs.
An international team of scientists has found leaving more big fish in the sea reduces the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) released into the Earth’s atmosphere. When a fish dies in the ocean it si
Australian scientists have discovered a massive detached coral reef just off Cape York on the Great Barrier Reef that’s taller than the Empire State Building or the Sydney Tower. The scientists f
A new study of the Great Barrier Reef shows populations of its small, medium and large corals have all declined in the past three decades. Lead author Dr Andy Dietzel, from the ARC Centre of Excell
Scientists have found that as the world undergoes profound environmental change, identifying and protecting ‘novel’ communities of species can help prevent extinctions within vulnerable ecosystems
Abstract: Increasing human populations around the world’s coastline have caused extensive loss, degradation and fragmentation of coastal ecosystems. Swift losses of coastal ecosystems have been rec
Abstract: CHE is not a particular theory or a single approach but a collection of lines of research that address human-environmental interactions in coastal and marine systems at the local scale
Abstract: How can we care about something we never see or experience? Virtual reality has the potential to connect people with far-away places, and is an effective medium to generate empathy and sel
Abstract: When abundant, seabirds feeding in the open ocean transport large quantities of nutrients onto islands, enhancing the productivity of island fauna and flora. These nutrients can leach int
Abstract: Current-day populations of coral reef fish suffer when exposed acutely to elevated temperatures, but future warming will occur over greater timescales. Recent studies show that developmenta
Abstract: There is often a mismatch between the scales at which ecosystems are threatened by human impacts and those at which management and policy are implemented. Better understanding the scales ov
Abstract: Ocean warming and acidification are challenging the tolerance limits of scleractinian corals. However, beneficial acclimation and stress-hardening via phenotypic plasticity may be pathw
