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.
Squid will survive and may even flourish under even the worst-case ocean acidification scenarios, according to a new study published this week. Dr Blake Spady, from the ARC Centre of Excellence for C
Scientists have revealed the torrid, adulterous love lives of the mouth-brooding cardinalfish, with cuckoldry going hand-in-hand with cannibalism of the young.“This is a small and unassuming cor
A new study published today in Nature Climate Change finds coral reefs are under threat from ocean acidification.The study was led by researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef S
New research has revealed that the short lives and violent deaths of some of coral reefs’ smallest tenants may be vital to the health of reef systems, including the iconic Great Barrier Reef.Dr
China’s extraordinary economic development over recent decades has had enormous impacts on coastal marine ecosystems, including extensive, coastal coral reefs in the southern provinces. With around
Pesticides (particularly herbicides and insecticides) are detected ubiquitously in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) region waterways. This is largely as the GBR has relatively comprehensive long-term moni
In 2016, JCU joined the pilot of the Science in Australia Gender Equity (SAGE) Athena SWAN program. This program aims to move towards gender equity in STEMM at universities and research institutes acr
Most of the world's coral reefs are periodically exposed to heavy seas generated by tropical cyclones which can cause major structural damage to corals that, over time, can play a key role in shaping
Anthropogenic global heating has emerged as a major driver of the trajectory of the world’s coral reefs. Pan-tropical coral bleaching (affecting >94% of coral reefs) has now occurred three times
Corals and sponges are morphologically simple organisms, playing key roles in the ecosystems they build and maintain, providing habitats for other species of animals, plants and microbes: branching st
This seminar will provide an overview of our recent adventures into bio-imaging and analysis with particular focus toward understanding structure and interaction at the scale of a single cell and/or i
Adaptation to climate change has been traditionally studied at the scale of the individual, with studies either looking at vulnerability or focusing on specific adaptation actions and the potential of
