Book Synopsis Cold-Water Coral Reefs of the World by : Erik Cordes
Download or read book Cold-Water Coral Reefs of the World written by Erik Cordes and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-01-28 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cold-water corals form reef structures in continental margin and seamount settings world-wide, making them more wide-spread and abundant than shallow-water reefs. Their role in these ecosystems is no less important than the influence that shallow-water coral reefs have on tropical systems. They create habitat structure, host endemic species, enhance elemental cycling, alter current flow, sequester carbon, and provide many other ecosystem services that we are just beginning to understand. The rapidly evolving state of knowledge of cold-water and deep-sea coral reefs has not been compiled in over 10 years. This volume synthesizes recent and historical information, reveals new findings from reefs that have been discovered only recently, and presents key avenues for future research. We are on the cusp of understanding the critical role that cold-water coral reefs play in the world’s oceans, and this book lays the foundation on which this knowledge will be built in the future.

Book Synopsis Reclaiming Popular Documentary by : Christie Milliken
Download or read book Reclaiming Popular Documentary written by Christie Milliken and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The documentary has achieved rising popularity over the past two decades thanks to streaming services like Netflix and Hulu. Despite this, documentary studies still tends to favor works that appeal primarily to specialists and scholars. Reclaiming Popular Documentary reverses this long-standing tendency by showing that documentaries can be—and are—made for mainstream or commercial audiences. Editors Christie Milliken and Steve Anderson, who consider popular documentary to be a subfield of documentary studies, embrace an expanded definition of popular to acknowledge the many evolving forms of documentary, such as branded entertainment, fictional hybrids, and works with audience participation. Together, these essays address emerging documentary forms—including web-docs, virtual reality, immersive journalism, viral media, interactive docs, and video-on-demand—and offer the critical tools viewers need to analyze contemporary documentaries and consider how they are persuaded by and represented in documentary media. By combining perspectives of scholars and makers, Reclaiming Popular Documentary brings new understandings and international perspectives to familiar texts using critical models that will engage media scholars and fans alike.
Book Synopsis Coral Reefs of Australia by : Pat Hutchings
Download or read book Coral Reefs of Australia written by Pat Hutchings and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2022-11-02 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australia’s coral reefs stretch far and wide, covering 50 000 square kilometres from the Indian Ocean in the West to the Pacific Ocean in the East. They have been viewed as a bedrock of coastal livelihoods, as uncharted and perilous nautical hazards, as valuable natural resources, and as unique, natural wonders with secrets waiting to be unlocked. Australia’s coral reefs have sustained a global interest as places to visit, and as objects of study, science, protection and conservation. Coral Reefs of Australia examines our evolving relationship with coral reefs, and explores their mystery and the fast pace at which they are now changing. Corals are feeling the dramatic impacts of global climate change, having undergone several devastating mass coral bleaching events, dramatic species range shifts and gradual ocean acidification. This comprehensive and engaging book brings together the diverse views of Indigenous Australians, coral reef scientists, managers and politicians to reveal how we interact with coral reefs, focussing on Indigenous culture, coastal livelihoods, exploration, discovery, scientific research and climate change. It will inform and inspire readers to learn more about these intriguing natural phenomena and how we can protect coral reefs for the future.

Book Synopsis Coral Reef Remote Sensing by : James A. Goodman
Download or read book Coral Reef Remote Sensing written by James A. Goodman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-18 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remote sensing stands as the defining technology in our ability to monitor coral reefs, as well as their biophysical properties and associated processes, at regional to global scales. With overwhelming evidence that much of Earth’s reefs are in decline, our need for large-scale, repeatable assessments of reefs has never been so great. Fortunately, the last two decades have seen a rapid expansion in the ability for remote sensing to map and monitor the coral reef ecosystem, its overlying water column, and surrounding environment. Remote sensing is now a fundamental tool for the mapping, monitoring and management of coral reef ecosystems. Remote sensing offers repeatable, quantitative assessments of habitat and environmental characteristics over spatially extensive areas. As the multi-disciplinary field of coral reef remote sensing continues to mature, results demonstrate that the techniques and capabilities continue to improve. New developments allow reef assessments and mapping to be performed with higher accuracy, across greater spatial areas, and with greater temporal frequency. The increased level of information that remote sensing now makes available also allows more complex scientific questions to be addressed. As defined for this book, remote sensing includes the vast array of geospatial data collected from land, water, ship, airborne and satellite platforms. The book is organized by technology, including: visible and infrared sensing using photographic, multispectral and hyperspectral instruments; active sensing using light detection and ranging (LiDAR); acoustic sensing using ship, autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and in-water platforms; and thermal and radar instruments. Emphasis and Audience This book serves multiple roles. It offers an overview of the current state-of-the-art technologies for reef mapping, provides detailed technical information for coral reef remote sensing specialists, imparts insight on the scientific questions that can be tackled using this technology, and also includes a foundation for those new to reef remote sensing. The individual sections of the book include introductory overviews of four main types of remotely sensed data used to study coral reefs, followed by specific examples demonstrating practical applications of the different technologies being discussed. Guidelines for selecting the most appropriate sensor for particular applications are provided, including an overview of how to utilize remote sensing data as an effective tool in science and management. The text is richly illustrated with examples of each sensing technology applied to a range of scientific, monitoring and management questions in reefs around the world. As such, the book is broadly accessible to a general audience, as well as students, managers, remote sensing specialists and anyone else working with coral reef ecosystems.

Book Synopsis Spatiotemporal Modeling and Analysis in Marine Science by : Junyu He
Download or read book Spatiotemporal Modeling and Analysis in Marine Science written by Junyu He and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-11-29 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the development of earth observation technologies (such as satellite remote sensing, unmanned aerial vehicle, autonomous underwater vehicle, etc.), an era of big data with important and non-negligible spatial/temporal attributes comes. Novel and rigorous spatiotemporal methodologies and models are needed to process and analyze marine big data. Since many marine environmental processes, such as pollutants diffusion, algae distributions etc., vary or evolve across spatiotemporal domains, detecting the distributions and patterns of marine fauna and, particularly in the coastal regions, will improve our understanding of marine systems and can be beneficial in marine environmental management. The goals of this Research Topic, therefore, are two-fold: (a) to develop methodologies and models in theory and applications, including spatiotemporal geostatistics, geographic information system, deep learning, etc.; (b) to quantitatively gain the knowledge of the marine environment. This Research Topic will provide a platform for researchers to share and exchange their new knowledge gained in a spatiotemporal domain of marine or coastal regions. This Research Topic will cover, but is not limited to, the following areas: • Spatiotemporal variations of physical/chemical/biological indicators (such as chlorophyll, temperature, salinity, colorful dissolved organic matter, suspended solids, nutrients, microplastic, etc.) in marine. • Spatiotemporal variations of potential fishing grounds in marine. • Spatiotemporal variations of the ecosystems in coastal regions, such as salt marshes, mangroves, seagrass, macroalgae, etc. • Spatiotemporal distributions of the pollutants (such as heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, etc.) in marine and sediments. • Spatiotemporal evolution pattern modeling and prediction of the marine disasters and abnormal phenomena (such as algal bloom, typhoons, SST anomalies, etc).
Book Synopsis Seascape Ecology: from characterization to evaluation of state and change over time by : Monica Montefalcone
Download or read book Seascape Ecology: from characterization to evaluation of state and change over time written by Monica Montefalcone and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-08-22 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landscape ecology has been a discrete, established discipline since at least 1980. Its marine counterpart, seascape ecology, is barely a decade old, its first applications dating from the early 2010s. Lack of perception of the marine environment hampers the adoption of many landscape ecology approaches to the sea. Seascape ecology relies on special technologies such as remote sensing (either acoustic or optical), robotics, and scuba diving. Both disciplines deal with the spatial configuration of ecosystems and consider environmental heterogeneity and dynamics as the main subjects of study and the key for ecosystem functioning and persistence. Seascape is here intended as the totality of natural and anthropogenic characters of a marine region. To the geologist, it is defined by sedimentology and underwater geomorphology, to the biologist by the nature of the living cover of the seafloor, to the ecologist by the relationships among functional processes and the spatial organization of ecosystems. The goal of this research topic is to encourage original research, case studies, reviews, and viewpoints to identify research priority gaps and possibly contribute to filling them in. We will appreciate, in particular, manuscripts dealing with recent advances such as high-resolution habitat mapping; underwater soundscape and biophony; development, application and validation of biotic indices to assess seafloor integrity (as requested, for instance, by recent European Directives). Papers of interest may discuss the multivarious facets of stability and describe resistance and resilience patterns, the role of stress and disturbance, regime shift and phase shift, or may take up the challenge of integrating coastal landscape and seascape analyses. Studies of long-term series are welcome, as well as methodological improvements, and macroecological approaches on the importance of species diversity and connectivity in seascape organization.
