TL;DR: Comparison of satellite data against field surveys demonstrated a significant predictive relationship between accumulated heat stress (measured using NOAA Coral Reef Watch's Degree Heating Weeks) and bleaching intensity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Remote Sensing of Coral Reefs for Monitoring and Management: A Review
John D. Hedley,Chris Roelfsema,Iliana Chollett,Alastair R. Harborne,Scott F. Heron,Scarla J. Weeks,William J. Skirving,Alan E. Strong,C. Mark Eakin,Tyler Christensen,Victor S Ticzon,Sonia Bejarano,Peter J. Mumby +12 more
TL;DR: A clear conclusion of the review is that advances in both sensor technology and processing algorithms continue to drive forward remote sensing capability for coral reef mapping, particularly with respect to spatial resolution of maps, and synthesis across multiple data products.
The coral triangle and climate change: ecosystems, people and societies at risk
Ove Hoegh-Guldberg,Hans Hoegh-Guldberg,J. E. N. Veron,Alison Green,Edgardo D. Gomez,Janice M. Lough,Melanie King,Ambariyanto,Lara Hansen,Josh Cinner,Geoff Dews,Garry R. Russ,Heidi Z. Schuttenberg,Eileen L. Peñaflor,C. Mark Eakin,Tyler Christensen,Michael Abbey,Francis Areki,Rosemary A. Kosako,Alexander Tewfik,Jamie Oliver +20 more
TL;DR: The Coral Triangle is the richest place on earth in terms of biodiversity as discussed by the authors, with over 30% of the world's coral reefs including 76% of world's reef building corals and over 35% of coral reef fish species.
NOAA coral reef watch 50 km satellite sea surface temperature-based decision support system for coral bleaching management
G. Liu,J. Rauenzahn,Scott F. Heron,C. M. Eakin,William Skirving,Tyler Christensen,Alan E. Strong,Jianke Li +7 more
TL;DR: The Coral Reef Watch twice-weekly 50 km satellite Coral Bleaching Alert Area product was used to forecast mass coral bleaching in the Caribbean region during the 2005 boreal summer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improvements to and continuity of operational global thermal stress monitoring for coral bleaching
Scott F. Heron,G. Liu,J. Rauenzahn,Tyler Christensen,William J. Skirving,Timothy F. R. Burgess,C.M. Eakin,J. A. Morgan +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe improvements to satellite remote sensing products from NOAA's Coral Reef Watch to enhance product coverage and to correct identified errors in the production of coral reef-specific metrics for thermal stress.
