Klappentext zu „Coral Reef Remote Sensing “
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

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.

Remote sensing is a fundamental tool for mapping and monitoring coral reef ecosystems. Remote sensing offers the ability to provide repeatable, quantitative assessments of environmental characteristics over spatially extensive areas. As the multidisciplinary field of coral reef remote sensing continues to mature, results demonstrate that the techniques and capabilities have dramatically improved in recent years. These improvements are facilitating reef assessment and mapping to be performed with higher accuracy, and the increased level of information that is being made available is allowing more complex scientific questions to be addressed. Six different aspects of coral reef remote sensing are presented in this book: collection of field survey information for calibration and validation, multispectral and hyperspectral sensing, LiDAR mapping, ship-based acoustic analysis, the evaluation of sea surface temperature, and the use of these map products in reef science and management. These topics together provide a diverse foundation necessary for coral reef remote sensing across varying depth regimes.
Audience.The broad scope of this volume includes a multi-level look at the varying tools needed for remote sensing of coral reefs, from satellite and airborne imagery of shallow environments to ship-based observations of deeper and/or turbid reef areas. The individual sections of the book include introductory overviews of five coral reef remote sensing disciplines, followed by specific examples demonstrating practical applications of the different technologies being discussed.
