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.
James Cook University researchers have found brightly coloured fish are becoming increasingly rare as coral declines, with the phenomenon likely to get worse in the future. Christopher Hemingson, a
Researchers working with stakeholders in the Great Barrier Reef region have come up with ideas on how groups responsible for looking after the reef can operate more effectively when the next bleaching
A new study has delivered a stark warning about the impacts of urban growth on the world’s coral reefs. As coastal developments expand at pace around the world, a year-long study of coral on a reef
Alarming new research shows global warming of 1.5°C relative to pre-industrial levels will be catastrophic for almost all coral reefs – including those once thought of as refuges. Associate Profes
Abstract: Evolution of many eukaryotic organisms is affected by interactions with microbes. Microbial symbioses can ultimately reflect host’s diet, habitat range, and even body shape. However, how
Abstract: The past few years have seen unprecedented coral bleaching and mortality on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) but the consequences of this on biodiversity are not yet known. This talk will expl
Abstract: Molecular approaches have revolutionised our understanding of the systematics and evolution of most branches on the tree of life, including corals. Over the last twenty-five years molecula
Abstract: Outbreaks of crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) are a major driver of coral decline across the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) and compound upon the impacts of increasingly frequent and severe coral
Abstract: Being a new staff member at JCU, I will start with a short overview of my research. Next I will zoom in on a specific topic that I have been interested in for a long time: the impact of e
Abstract: The harsh truth is that, despite exciting innovations and increases in activity, ocean conservation is not succeeding, at least not fast enough. This is my conclusion from the last decad
