Research Project
Full description Two primary outcomes are expected from this project, the first is aimed at solving a fundamental challenge to understanding and managing coral reefs in Australia and worldwide. The optimal reef mapping method(s) will enable coral reef monitoring and management programs in Australia and internationally to make full use of satellite and airborne image data sets. Secondly, the project will significantly advance the capabilities of remote sensing applications in coral reefs, by providing a unique international test of current state of the art algorithms.In combination, these outcomes will enable Australia to continue to play a role as the world's leading developer and provider of solutions for coral reef monitoring and management
