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.
New research reveals marine heatwaves are a much bigger threat to coral reefs than previously thought, with effects that go beyond coral bleaching. In the study, scientists show for the first time th
The world’s largest coordinated study of coral reefs identifies just where and how to save coral reefs across the Indo-Pacific.More than 80 scientists, including an Australian team from the ARC
A group of Australian scientists has created the world’s first computer model that can accurately predict the movements of baby coral trout across the Great Barrier Reef.The study confirms the i
Being a fussy eater is a problem for reef fish who seek refuge from climate change on deeper reefs. But, scientists discovered, the coral that these fussy fish eat can support them.The study was l
Abstract: Coral reef restoration is gaining momentum globally in response to the threat of climate change and associated coral bleaching. In Australia, as part of the Reef Restoration and Adaptatio
Abstract:Developing global environmental policies, and implementing these at a local level has proven extremely challenging. I will present research using ethnographic techniques and multi-level
Abstract: Recurrent bleaching events since the early 1980’s have led to enduring ecosystems changes throughout the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea and the increasing frequency and intensity of
Abstract: Conservation relies largely on the ability to influence behaviours and ensure rule adherence. Yet, noncompliance in conservation contexts is common. For instance, poaching regularly neg
AbstractProjected near-future ocean CO2 levels alter behaviours that affect survival, such as predator escape and foraging, in marine invertebrates. However, the mechanisms responsible for these e
Abstract:The long-standing paradigm that ecology and evolution play out on different timescales is increasingly challenged by recent studies that show real-time interaction of the two. Similarly t
Abstract: The declining condition of many habitats in the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area means marine park managers have to take a different approach to management. Managers can no longer rely
Abstract: Photosymbiosis is the main driver of reef development because it enhances calcification rates, thereby allowing corals to grow in oligotrophic environments. The reefal systems of the Palae
